Fishnwire Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 You have to wonder why they'd be contemplating another expensive war in a foreign country if they can't afford to keep their museums and parks open. Even assuming their motivations are 100% pure...I know if I couldn't pay my gas bill, I wouldn't be offering to help my neighbour out in at some endeavor that is crazy expensive and may have no end.

Fisherman Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'll tell you what, without making it a them and us or these and those ones, it can happen to any country that is controlled by an elite group. They/we/most of us, don't have a revenue problem, we have massive spending problems, right from the bottom of the pile, Joe /Jane Public to the top of the Government heap. People keep spending beyond their means. Every little p/ant self centered group crys the blues and has money thrown at it. Stop it and only spend money where it is realy needed. If you run a deficit and have a debt, you will never see the light at the end of the tunnel..other than the train that's going to run your sorry butt over. If you want a 60 inch flat screen in every room with a bathroom for every room in the house, you either have the money to pay for it or you are in debt...'til death do you part from it.

fishingwithbob Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Chris Hall@cshallwriter7h America was not shut down properly. Would you like to start America in safe mode, with free healthcare and without the guns? (Recommended) Retweeted by Tom Colicchio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercman Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Why is it that you and I and all us "little guys" know what the problem is, and how to fix it.....and our "LEADERS" (term used loosely) can't ??????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cram Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 They aren't closing museums, parks, etc because they can't afford them (that's another battle). It's just a disagreement on passing a budget. Without agreement there is no budget, so they are legally forced to close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 sharp drop in gold, but otherwise no sell off on the markets. Guess it's not a big deal yet??? Until the next big item in a couple weeks: the massively tall debt ceiling!! The republicans are loving a government shutdown: "see, we don't need museums and parks" haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 seems the republicans only agree with democracy when it's going their way. obama was elected on a platform that HEAVILY pushed obamacare. so in order to keep it from passing the GOP cripples the country UNLESS obamacare is defunded? glad i live in a country where good health is a right, not a privilege.

aplumma Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 This is not a money issue it is the government holding our spending hostage till we get rid of the obamacare crap that will ruin our country. As for guns if there is no government then I am glad I am armed at least there will be one wolf in the pasture protecting the livestock. lol Give it a few days and they will come up with some kind of answer that will keep both sides of the government happy as for the people.....who knows.

muskymatt Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Was watching a bit on tv and it's amazing the attitude of some of the American politicians and media. Hey, here's a heads up to you ! Just because you think and say you are the greatest nation in the world, doesn't mean you are. Ever think that attitude might be part of the problem? Idiots!!!

Raycaster Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Just finished a novel Brad Thor : Hidden Order which uses the US Federal Reserve as a back story. Yes its fiction but the back story about the federal reserve history and function are a real eye opener. Its written like a Dan Brown suspense novel with a sprinkling of odd true facts that catch you off guard. Very interesting topic that I think I will research a little...
