They let a number of large corporations of the hook for the ACA, why not let the people have an option for the first year. Regardless, anyone cheering a shutdown doesn't understand how it impacts the poor and government workers. Real people with real lives being sent home on days when they need the work.<br /><br />As much as I hate the fact that we need to increase the debt ceiling, not doing it is worse. This is the new norm. We're broke and the only option is to borrow more to pay the bills that are due today. Extend and pretend is all we've got left. The dollar is toast, it's only a matter of time.<br /><br />This is political theater to the point that it appears to be planned. Should be interesting to watch what happens. We agree that this is not good but you're still falling for the good cop bad cop routine while both sides allow pension funds to be raided by Wall Street. The little people are being crushed and it's not on sided. Buckle Up kids, the velocity is picking up.<br /><br />http://www.oregonlive.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/09/pers_taxes_and_gmo_whats_at_st.html<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
