Passport need renewing? Psyched for that totally amazing weekend you have lined up in Yellowstone? Well, John Boehner has some bad news for you: Unless the Senate agrees to delay the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (AKA ObamaKillsUCare) for an entire year, House Republicans will most likely let the government shut down on October 1st. Fun!
In a statement released today, Boehner laid out his demands:The House will now send back a version of the spending bill that will almost certainly be shot down by the Senate, leaving the government with virtually no chance to come to a resolution before it runs out of money on October 1st.“The American people don’t want a government shut down and they don’t want ObamaCare. That’s why later today, the House will vote on two amendments to the Senate-passed continuing resolution that will keep the government open and stop as much of the president’s health care law as possible."
“The first amendment delays the president’s health care law by one year. And the second permanently repeals ObamaCare’s medical device tax that is sending jobs overseas."
So what happens during a government shutdown? A lot of bad things. The economy tanks, government workers will be furloughed (further to that tanking of the economy), and National Parks and the Smithsonian would close. Also, the EPA would effectively shut down as well, so if you've got chemicals to dump — now is the time. And if you're going to do dispose of things, best do it in Washington D.C. (its garbage collection would be suspended).

They are trying to figure out away to get obama killed. (the republicans) causing all this drama over obama care. What selfish people need to realize that to protect the so-called poor in this country, is protecting yourself in case this economy completely collapse and the rich may need obama care. He's not just watching out for welfare recipients like they claim. They want to make it seem as if the health care plan is of the devil. .it's other countries that already have a similar health care system and survive just fine. They are going to protest him and shut down the government, but say he's shutting it down for not listening to the republican party.
This just might happen. The trickery is beyond what they say, they just have to find a way to ease this new currency system in..what better way to do it than now.. it's going to happen regardless.
They got Russian soldiers in Baltimore, this is to be taken very seriously.

who cares

the reason why I sound crazy to some, because I've been paranoid, especially about this site. Is this site hacker spyware, protected. I feel that some of the posters are catfishers, who hack webcams.

I hope people are educated about this and know this is not about welfare and foodstamps. Thats not the only thing that will be effected. If this happens, you will not be able to make 911 calls. They will start forced home inspections..their will be martial law in the streets. The dollar bill will sank.
This isnt about them shutting down welfare, this involves everyone in the U.S.

this just shows how much the republicans would love to see this country go to ? rather than let a black president have his landmark program.
