US government shutdown - your thoughts?

[Balikpinoy]

Republicans are not saying to shut down, just lessen the implementation. But that's a good idea in a political stand point to let Obamacare pass they let people see what it can do to the economy. It's just me that sees this in the republicans side.





They did pass clean bills... But outright rejected by Democrats.



In my mind, if it's going to strain the economy, even its a law... There is not much hurt if they let people sign waivers that don't need Obamacare care. The white house can't even put out numbers on who signed up. In an example, (I think it was Maryland but I can be wrong) weekly numbers should be in the thousands but only 300+ did. A waiver isn't that bad in my mind.

Which clean bills?

They passed bills to fund other sectors of government but democrats rejected unless republicans cave in to full implementation.

Republicans passed bills to fund parts of the govt coz they're getting a lot of heat from the US public after letting the govt shut down

damage control yan
