Last night before I went to bed I heard someone on the TV talking about how government was shutting down. To this I just thought what was being said was a big joke. In the morning I found out that it was the complete truth.
It is still really hard for me to understand how the government can just shut down. I did not know that something like this was even possible. I started to watch the news in the morning and boy is it crazy.
Honestly I am a little pissed that the people in congress are being such asses. I know that some people may say that they are doing their job by sticking up for what they believe in or what the people believe in. And I do think that the budget for Obama care is something extremely big to think about. However I do not agree with it taking so long that the government has to be shut down. My uncle works for the government and he went into work today just to find out that he, for the time being does not have a job and will not be paid.
How can congress do this to the people that elected them? The people that they are suppose to be protecting? I do not understand it. Maybe some of the people in congress are okay with it because they are still going to get paid. Which hey, why should they suffer along with the rest of the country?
All that I know is that this needs to be fixed right way because each day the economy is losing money and people are not getting the help that they need. For example, WIC patients will not be able to receive any help from the government right now. For people who do not know WIC patients and mothers with children to whom they can not afford to feed. The patients receive and check with items on it that they are allowed to purchase. These items are different for each patient because a doctor writes out a plan for them.
Why should mothers and their children suffer? Congress better get itself together.
