"I think the reason is because President Obama can't wait to get Americans addicted to the crack cocaine of dependency on more government health care"
"Because, once they enroll millions of more individual Americans it will be virtually impossible for us to pull these benefits back from people."
http://www.cbs8.com/story/14398971/local-military-membe...Troops are paid on the 15th and the final day of the month, and Mr. Gates said that if a government shutdown began after Friday, troops would receive half a paycheck for the first two weeks of April. After that, troops wouldn't be paid until a deal is reached in Washington to fund the government, although they would receive any back pay owed, he added.
"If it goes from the 15th to the 30th, you wouldn't get a paycheck on the 30th," he added. "But you would be back-paid for all of it. So that's the deal." < / article >
According to a statement on the Defense Department website, the armed forces members would continue to earn their salaries, but wouldn't actually receive any money until Congress reaches a budget agreement.
oh god no. Now I won't be able to visit that national park I never visit.
Obomba gave his buddies a year extension. All the republicans are doing is holding out for a year for everyone else. Even though the media isn't reporting this important fact, it will come out election time.
I think the "D's" will lose badly.
There's actually more than just 'parks'. It's a whole load of people that will be furloughed without pay. Pay that was used to purchase goods sold by other people, whether they're red or blue team players. Hopefully the posturing won't extend much further than the debt ceiling deadline. But, looking at the current intransigence, would anyone be surprised if this extends until next year?
You also thought "D's" would lose badly 10 months ago, so there's that...
It's like those eyes are staring deep into my soul.

Make it stop
Yeah, think of all the piss-poor at ude n!gger employees you won't have to put up with at the DMV, Court, or any other government office for the foreseeable future. Picturing those worthless people suffering doesn't really make me teary-eyed. I'm actually kind of excited.
here's a video of a baby raccoon playing in a bathtub for the meantime
or a dog doing a trick
either way they're doing more work than congress
In honor of GTA online tomorrow
Will NSA stop spying on us during the shutdown or is this the kind of shutdown where only good stuff gets shutdowned?
The latter
Only good like the national parks get shutdown. We'll still have pervert scanners at the airport, TSA, homeland security, we'll still bomb kids in the Middle East, and so on.
MILLIONS FLEE OBAMACARE
Millions of Tea Party loyalists fled the United States in the early morning hours today, seeking what one of them called “the American dream of liberty from health care.”
Harland Dorrinson, 47, a tire salesman from Lexington, Kentucky, packed up his family and whatever belongings he could fit into his Chevy Suburban just hours before the health-insurance exchanges opened, joining the Tea Party’s Freedom Caravan with one goal in mind: escape from Obamacare.
“My father didn’t have health care and neither did my father’s father before him,” he said. “I’ll be damned if I’m going to let my children have it.”
But after driving over ten hours to the Canadian border, Mr. Dorrinson was dismayed to learn that America’s northern neighbor had been in the iron grip of health care for decades.
“The border guard was so calm when he told me, as if it was the most normal thing in the world,” he said. “It’s like he was brainwashed by health care.”
Turning away from Canada, Mr. Dorrinson joined a procession of Tea Party cars heading south to Mexico, noting, “They may have drug cartels and narcoterrorism down there, but at least they’ve kept health care out.”
Mr. Dorrinson was halfway to the southern border before he heard through the Tea Party grapevine that Mexico, too, has public health care, as do Great Britain, Japan, Turkey, Spain, Belgium, New Zealand, Slovenia, and dozens of other countries to which he had considered fleeing.
Undaunted, Mr. Dorrinson said he had begun looking into additional countries, like Chad and North Korea, but he expressed astonishment at a world seemingly overrun by health care.
“It turns out that the United States is one of the last countries on earth to get it,” he said. “It makes me proud to be an American.”

GOP Wants Budget Conference To Undo Shutdown That It Has Blocked For Last Six Months
After the House passed a slew of funding bills with amendments attached to delay and defund Obamacare, the lawmakers switched gears right before recessing for the evening and formally requested a budget conference with the Senate. A conference would mean convening a group of bipartisan lawmakers from both houses, or a conference committee, to work out a compromise between their competing visions for what a government budget should look like.
But House Republicans have had an opportunity to conference with the Senate since April. That’s when lawmakers in the Senate, led by Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), passed a budget and opened the door to create a committee to hash out the differences between that bill and the House budget, which it passed in March. Republicans had made the lack of a Democratic Senate budget a talking point for three years, arguing that Congress should return to “regular order” by passing budgets in both chambers and conferencing to work out the differences. Yet after the Senate passed a bill and the opportunity to do so became real, Senate Republicans blocked Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) from creating a conference committee.
In the months after that, those Republicans blocked 18 separate attempts to go to a budget conference with the House.
