Blame Game

Blame Game - Hi everyone! - It's been over two weeks now that the US government went into shutdown mode. Funny, you would never have guessed a step like that from a highly advanced nation like America which prefers to be addressed as a super power. A lock- down like this one I'd rather expect from a banana republic or some communist regime suddenly gone awry. Of course, I am just as well or badly updated about the whole situation as everybody else due to the nature of press and media related information released on TV. And yes, I am rather sure that there is actually much more to the entire dilemma than publicly portrayed. As I understand, part of the Republican party had decided to basically take a chance and simply veto the Democrats' idea of Obama Care which as we all know had been sanctioned off almost a year prior and passed as a new law already. Being politically unbiased still, I can't help wondering though, why the party which had finally given in to the opponent's new medical law suddenly chose to default on accepting it as an integral part of next year's budget. Did they not know what was financially coming along with Obama Care? If you ask me, they very well had a pretty clear idea as far as the numbers. To begin with, as I stated about a year ago already, I just don't think that America needed to be blasted with this sort of medical care. Often mistaken for a socialist concept, Obama Care is not just overly rejected among Americans but would also considerably raise the national debt ceiling once fully implemented and in effect. My question to all those nay- sayers in the government with respect to Obama Care: Why on earth did you in the end vote for it? Wouldn't it have made more sense to just disapprove and stick to it back then instead of attempting to repeal it now when it's all coming to a head? I think, it is absolutely irresponsible to battle out a major political issue as such at the expense of the American people. Just despicable and outrageous! With every passing day, more and more folks have to go without pay, ever the more public places are being shut down, and the more damage is being done to the national and soon also international economy. The US dollar is already losing some of its stability as we are speaking, and this is just the beginning. How much longer is this bunch of defiant grown men and women planning to keep this stupid game alive? Honestly, I am disgusted because  nothing good can be expected from this kind of idiotic clash. More and more people are voicing their anger openly even suggesting that no more taxes be paid as long as this shutdown keeps going. Completely understandable! Why keep pretending everything is fine if the government acts like absolute lunatics? If this was the situation in my country, I would most likely not want to pay my taxes any longer either. What for? To help them prolong an artificially inflicted crisis which could easily have been solved when the time was right? Shame on the government to even allow such a feud to be dragged out like that! PLEASE, resume negotiations and get back to work ASAP because this you owe to your loyal tax payers!
