Government Shutdown
 

I really haven't looked around on the topic, and most of it just annoys me. However, does anyone know when the hell they're opening again? It's as if they think it's okay to shutdown whenever they can't come to the an agreement.

Open discussion on the topic is welcomed. Let's not start too big of a flame war here, since this is Politics.

I heard 3 weeks from starting date, but don't hold me to that.

The government, as does life, will get over it and move on.

Tell that to the jews during the ww2.

Thanks Obama

That's why you live in Australia!

I'll pass on Tony Abbott ty.

The next time you judge a teenage girl for overreacting, just remember that a bunch of old, rich white men shut down the government because they weren't getting their way. The whole two party system is the reason we have these issues. This is the kind of stuff that makes George Washington toss and turn in his graveyard.

I agree with this and think that a lot of things need to change with democracy.

Mmk

I think US politics is a stupid thing. From what I have seen, often whoever won the election loses control over some house or something that controls budgets or something along those lines.

isn't it great that the leaders of our country are people with the maturity of children, i think it is :D

blame the republican house majority for this

Yes because the Senate is trying sooooo much harder to improvise.
@TW Some details are we the senate controlled by the democrats and the House of Representatives controlled by the republicans can't come to an agreement about some bill...?(not so sure) and it's estimated to add 10 Billion or so on the national debt which is at 17 trillion at the moment because of this.

By the people? For the people?

The government is shutdown, but they still get paid. >:c Tax the rich. the trickle down theory does not seem to work anymore.
