As a federal employee, I am still working, although not 100% sure whether I will get the paycheck on time. The GOP wants to use this opportunity to de-fund Obamacare. Will they achieve it? I doubt it. I think their intention is to bring more of Americans' attention to this issue. For this, I think they will do it. The Dem controls the white house and the senate. They want to fund the Obamacare, and to increase/eliminate debt ceiling, and to put the critizism on the GOP. They will hell not bargain on Obamacare, his signature legislature, which the president thinks will put him among the list ofAmerican's greatest Presidents. History will make the judgement. I think the two parties will settle something on the debt ceiling and re-open the government.
Do I mind the government shutdown? No, I do not. Really, it is not a shutdown, it is a slimdown. Most of the fovernment are still running. The people did not panick, the stock market did not crush yesterday as they predicted. Maybe we need this, just to let some people know that we can NOT spend money like there is no tomorrow for ever. It took Bush 8 years to increase the national debt from 4 trillion to 8 trillion. It took Obama 4 years to bring it from 8 to 16 trillion. During Obama's presidency, the fed government expanded considerably, as well as the medcaid and food stamp programs. Of course the Obamacare.
