For the record everything that isn’t getting funded is a perfect example of government waste! The essential programs are the only programs our tax dollars should be funding in the first place!
Obama and Reid want a shutdown because they’re propaganda network is positioned and IMO already has the articles, attacks, etc ready to go against the GOP. Cruz and the rebels have been adamant they never wanted a government shutdown. From day one it has been the imperial emperor and Dingy. They will work every angle possible to hurt the American people while pointing the finger of blame in hopes of the political fallout will last long enough to affect 2014 election.
This has and always will be about money, power and control. The left knows obamacare is a disaster they just want to get as many people as possible on it so it cannot be repealed so as to rein in a single payer system which would be presented by democrats again for political points.
At this point I say let them have their way, I want to see this whole thing come apart when SHTF because NO ONE will be coming to the lefts rescue.
