Government Shutdown is Upon Us
It’s disappointing to know that a government shutdown is almost eminent and all of the politicians in DC cannot seem to play well together. The elected politicians are supposedly in Washington, DC to serve the interests of the people (for whatever that means in today’s age) yet everything they do seems to be another drawn out drama session that displays their inability to act with a sense of urgency for the people, and their outright disdain for effectively RESOLVING issues.
What a government shutdown means is that the politicians/toddlers are in the sandbox throwing sand.
Why a Government Shutdown is Necessary
Well it isn’t necessary or warranted yet here it is today, and waiting until anytime between NOW and September 30th, Americans stand waiting and watching to see if those pompous elected officials perform their jobs. The matrix is something that controls all aspects of government and obviously its power is growing when a nation that is in financial crisis has officials that are unwilling (or told NOT) to communicate to bring resolutions to the issues facing this country. Whatever happens behind the “oz curtain” is something the average person in America will never see or hear about in the news or anywhere, although speculation is growing it doesn’t provide the answers or the truth.

What Happens During a Government Shutdown
During a government shutdown essentially half of the federal workers will be furloughed (aka told not to come in to work) and they will not receive any pay for the time they are not working. FUN
The remaining half will be instructed to report to work during the government shutdown (HOWEVER) they will not receive pay for the time they are working UNTIL the government “reopens”. In other words if these federal workers depend on their paycheck each week to get themselves to work they better find a way to scrape up money to pay for gas, food, their mortgage etc while the elected officials decide when, and if, they will reopen for business.
If any employer in the United States tried to pull this stunt they would find themselves in court possibly facing fines for violating employee rights! Thankfully the iron-fist called government is exempt from fair treatment of its employees and they can be satisfied knowing the fear they wield is real.
Imagine in this economy more than one million people who are federal employee’s face the uncertainty of whether they will have a paycheck next week, and the other half face the uncertainty they are forced to go to work and wait for a check! That is UNREAL, and it demonstrates how far out of touch the elected officials are today.

Government Shutdown Centers on Obamacare
President Obama has threatened Obamacare will survive despite any supposed last minute “political hill” scramble and a looming government shutdown. Regardless of the show in Washington DC, Obamacare marches on despite the fact it appears majority of Americans don’t want it and the outrageous costs can only be speculated today. All because there is no concrete information from those pesky elected officials as to the REAL COST Obamacare will be to the citizens and the financial damage it will wreck on working Americans lives, because it already is wrecking havoc.
