A Liberals thoughts on the 2013 Government Shutdown

So with the intro to this blog out of the way I' ll go on to my first topic just a little bit of politics for you kids. So here in America the government shut down on October 1, 2013. The first in 17 years. Scary stuff. Yea, not really. On September 24th senator Ted Cruz, a Texas Republican, gave a dramatic 21 hour rant/speech attacking Obamacare. This obviously was a huge failure (thankfully his references to Ashton Kutchers speeches didn't sway the Democrats) because the affordable care act is in effect. Fox News has been having a great time blaming the Democrats on shutting down the government, with no proof of this at all! They have no reason on shutting the government down and would gain nothing from doing this. All the Republicans have to say about why they think the Democrats shut down the governments is "just because they can." The hard headed right side will blindly believe bullshit mountain that is commonly known as Fox News, but this video of the Republican speaker of the house of representatives, John Boehner is a little convincing. George Stephanopoulos goes one-on-one with the speaker, and catches on his lies on pressing the blame on the Democrats. He constantly says he wants to sit down and have a "conversation", but the left has always been ready for a sit down and talk about the debt ceiling. The right side doesn't want Obamacare, they resent the fact that they lost the "fight". This government shutdown was brought on by the Republicans, because they think Obamacare will be too costly for the American people and it will cost the government too much money. So, shutting down the government is a way for the Republicans to save a little money for the budget and to punish the Democrats and using it as a bargaining chip. Their basically saying, do away with Obamacare or the government stays shutdown. What they don't understand is that the affordable care act is helping millions of people and due to the heavy traffic of people wanting to sign up for it, it actually popped up errors on the first couple days! Fox News had a field day with this. Now, with this said make your own decision on who has the best interest of the American people. A group of people that is willing to layoff tens of thousands, doesn't care about you. They have their own agenda that has the corporations heart. - Think about it! Stay informed I'll write more later on the shutdown!
