Well crap


I heard that John Bohner threatened to shut the government down again if Obamacare doesn't get repealed. Hasn't he learned that that will just cause our economy to go to what is pictured above? Hasn't the Republican party learned that their approval ratings will only get lower and lower. As a Conservative myself, I don't like what Obamacare has to offer but it's a bit to late to do anything about it now. Republicans should be working to win the next election, not on sabotaging the country and blaming Obama. If the Republican party is to do anything good in our future they need to win the long run battles, not threaten to ruin our economy over bad policies from the Obama administration. Some people have questions as to what shutting down the government actually does and if it's really a big deal. Well you see, while the government is shutdown, people with government jobs that are considered non essential workers get furloughed and are not aloud to work, people that are considered essential workers have to show up to work without pay and don't receive payment until the government is no longer shut down, and national parks are closed. They usually get paid for the time they worked after the government shut down is over but that is up to a vote by congress. Speaking of congress, politicians in the house and senate still get their full pay for the full duration of the shutdown. So yeah, shutting down the government is bad.
