The US government is back to work!

It's about time this joke ended.
What has the government gained from all this? Nothing
Has the government learned anything? Probably not
Overall: Waste of time, money, resource, respect, credibility, etc.
Yay!

Doesn't this usually happen every time the US government does anything?

If polls shift half a point its worth it to them.
Either way, Americans know this was all a scheme by Republicans, so if anything its gonna help the Democrats retain the Senate and maybe pick up seats in the House.
Plus, we get to go through this bullshit again in 3 more months..

It's about fairness. The President and Congress want to exempt themselves from feeling the impact of Obamacare and the President handed out (illegally) special breaks to unions and big corporations. What about the American people?
We got fucked. Go try to sign up for Obamacare and you have to enter a rabbit warren that is designed with one goal in mind - keeping you from finding out how expensive health insurance is now going to be if you are a young American.
EPIC FAIL

There was one positive accomplishment; Obama's poll ratings are now below those of George W. Bush at the same time in his tenure, so fuck you Obama. This middle finger is for you, baby!

The tea-party idiots strapped a bomb to their chest and said "We'll blow up the country if we don't get our way" Thankfully the GOP leadership is stupid enough to follow them, but not so insane that they went through with it. Basically they threw a temper tantrum/ bluff, and all we got out of it was a dip in the stock market, a bunch of lost revenue in tourist towns near federal parks, and federal employees out of work. The GOP now has single digit poll ratings. All they're doing is fucking us, and themselves.

What a crock of shit. Your understanding of Tea Party politics gets a single digit rating.

Threatening to let the US default on it's loans and ruin the economy just to force some dumb policy they've failed to enact 46 times already is hardly what I'd call 'politics'. Most people where I'm from call it 'Insanity'.

As long as we keep Obama from enacting his agenda it is a victory for the American people, Lynnch. Someone has to stop the welfare state's expansion and that is the job of the Tea Party and we are winning and will continue to win. Our prospects for 2014 look even better than they did in 2010.
A betting man would take me up on this.

It hasn't always been this way. There used to be ideals in government about benefiting the whole country, working towards the greater good; not just trying to beat your opponents and get reelected.Quote:

No, it is not. I have friends out of work because of the shutdown. This is real stuff that affects everyone, the world even. Quote:

I don't fault you for believing what you believe, but I personally doubt the GOP is going to last long.
