US government shutdown - your thoughts?

[niky]

But the Democrats are stopping it to be funded. No Obama care no talks. That's their stand point.

Para maintindihan mo na.

You and I, we are part owners of a restaurant.

Every week, we agree on a marketing budget for food.

Last month, we argued over the purchase of an automated billboard for the front of the restaurant. An expense to be paid for out of the savings account (not the checking account used for marketing). This will cost a lot and impact the bottomline, and it will make for extra work for the employees, who have to type out the menu and promotions, clean it, etcetera. Some employees don't want it. Some like the idea.

You hated it. But at a meeting of partners you're outvoted three to one.

You're still pissed. So you say that if we don't give up the billboard, you will not sign the checks for marketing. And all checks need the signatures of all partners.

You'll sign the checks if we sell the billboard. You'll sign the checks if we stop running the billboard, so the electricity cost won't add to our expenses. You'll sign the checks if we don't force employees to man the billboard teleprompter console.

The other partners do not agree. We've gone through the trouble of starting it, the bills have to be paid to the supplier, and the billboard is there. You don't fricking care. Your way or the highway.

Walang kinalaman ang billboard sa food budget. It doesn't come from the marketing fund. There's no reason to even talk about it when working out the week's marketing.

That's what the Tea Party is doing.

Don't get what you want, bring the whole thing burning down in blackmail.

Get it now?

It's not whether they're right or wrong about Obamacare. I personally don't like compulsory insurance. People should be free to choose. It's about whether they're right to shut down the US Government and imperil the world economy just to get one concession they could work out themselves after winning the next election.

Capiche?
