U.S. Government Shutdown

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

This situation confuses me.

Their way out is basically to just raise the debt limit, basically just making it so that they can owe more money to everyone before going broke...the average joe cant pull that shit. You cant just say to all your debt collectors "nah I'll pay you all back later, I've decided I can owe more money to you". Just seems dodgy and hell end of the day all they've done is basically procrastinate and just put any real solution off to a later date.

So the shutdown is over, the debt ceiling is raised, and ObamaCare will be put forth into action. The shutdown accomplished literally nothing just like I believe we all knew it would.

Just as The West Wing told us it would... The west wing is better than Nostradamus!

It's like putting a bandaid on a broken arm.

It'll all be dealt with later... probably.
