could you explain to the dumb kid whats really going on with...
    #18920110 - 10/02/13 09:21 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

i really dont understand whats going on with this gov shutdown thing. i dont know politics and im pretty dumb when it comes to understanding shit.

is it a big fuck you to the US?
is it to save money? kinda like when they do those blackouts on your power...
is it a threat to a certain party?

i really dont understand the point of this shut down... what are they trying to accomplish?

The children we hired to run the government are refusing to agree on a budget. The goal isn't to shutdown the government, they just are being dickheads and won't compromise to create a new budget.

There is other shit that you won't notice such as can't get passport, can't get gun permits.

I think it is stupid, but isn't the end of the world. I think the government should be fired for incompetence.

The republicans in congress are refusing to continue funding the government unless the Affordable Care Act. is repealed, or further delayed. They think that shutting down the government will give them leverage to negotiate with Obama and the democrats, But in reality they will only end up hurting themselves in the upcoming midterm elections. Now it's just a question of how long it will take for them to realize this fact.

They are trying to help insurance companies from having to compete or accept new customers that have pre existing medical issues. It is naive to think they think they are helping us.

And the democrats refusal to compromise has resulted in the shutdown don't go around pretending one party is at fault they both are. Oh and just in case your wondering no I am not a republican I vote libertarian.

Compromise what? If some republicans don't like a law there are ways other than blackmail to repeal the law. It is congress' job to fund the govt.

Well that's democracy for you unless you would prefer a one party rule sure it would be more efficient for government operations but would it accurately represent the people?

The parties have a disagreement over Obama healthcare and refuse to sign off the budget or whatever, so the govt shut down. In the end as pressure mounts one side will break and they will all come out to a big news conference together and announce a big huge plan where both parties made concessions. There have been 18 govt shutdowns since the 70's or something like that, all lasted around a week or two. All were quickly settled and they didn't destroy the economy. It's simply just scare tactics.
