The potential Federal government shutdown is a fraud. It's politics as usual, and hardball played by the liberals that want to portray the conservatives that want to cut taxes and spending as hard-nosed, uncaring, and against the poor. But make no mistake, the beat goes on in Washington, D.C.
Obama will be heading out to make a couple of stops designed to enhance his reelection campaign. He will stop at a "green" technologies center, and then move on to rub shoulders with ethno-centric voters. He demands all of the Reps and Senators to stick around, but he gets out of town. What a caring man he is (extreme sarcasm intended).
As for the negotiations, well, they are at a stalemate partly because it's not just about the money. Conservatives plan to defund Planned Parenthood's genocidal march through the nation. They also want to defund the EPA, particularly the segment that regulates greenhouse gasses. If Obama and the socialists really wanted a workable budget, and were only concerned about the economy, they would jump at the chance to cut these portions. But it's really not about the economy; it's a battle of social values. (Most RINO's, quasi-liberals, and fibbertarians will try to debate this point to no avail. The argument over these budget items is a perfect case-in-point that values and morals are constantly enforced by the left while they say otherwise with their lying mouths.)
In reality a government shutdown might not be a bad idea. The military would be funded, but the IRS would close. The Post Office would still work and social security checks would be sent. But government-funded museums and other frivolities would have to find other sources of money, or they would close. Federal funds that go to states would cease for awhile, and that would expose all of the nasty funding trails that makes states completely dependent on the feds. It's not all bad! In fact, it would probably be a realistic wake-up call to both sides of the aisle. And someone out there might actually have to find a real job! Now that would be a change we could all believe in!
So let the pundits punt. Let the liberal media continue to ply their lying trade. And let the politicians debate. If it's as serious as they say, they will be willing to give in, especially on the leftist side. But Obama is flying around like nothing is wrong. Apparently you he thinks you don't have anything to worry about either.

Sharia law agrees with you.

Call it artistic creativity. I doesn't take much imagination.
