The Fucking Government

So I havebn't been paying attention to the news or politics lately because frankly that shit depresses me. I'm already bugging about my small committments I don't need "Mr. Hope" making me feel worse. But apparently if the Senate doesn't pass an emergency spending bill by Friday night then the government shuts down. I think it's all bullshit. I mean what does that mean? The FBI agents stop working and shit? Doubt it.



From the Huffington Post:

WASHINGTON--Washington is hurtling toward a government shutdown on Friday night as the time to agree on a budget for the remainder of the fiscal year grows very short. 

Because of Senate rules, Democrats could be forced to break two GOP filibusters in order to pass a spending bill, and each vote requires a 30-hour delay. Government funding expires on Friday night, meaning that if negotiators don't reach a deal by the end of today or early tomorrow, just one Republican senator could stall the vote until the deadline arrives. 

If the talks Tuesday between House Republicans and the White House are any guide, the two parties are a long way from a deal. House Republicans emerged from the White House telling reporters that they are committed to finding a solution to the impasse, but were unwilling to do it unless the White House and Senate Democrats agree to cuts beyond the $33 billion level that had previously been floated.

"The Speaker told the president that the House will not be put in a box and forced to choose between two options that are bad for the country (accepting a bad deal that fails to make real spending cuts, or accepting a government shutdown due to Senate inaction)," a summary of the meeting provided to reporters by House Republican leadership read.

The House has instead proposed a one-week spending bill that would cut government spending by $12 billion while funding the military through the end of September, when the fiscal year ends.


The only reason I'm okay with this is if it really does shut down. I'm talking no power in the White House type shit. And another thing, you know it's bad when I'm on the Republican's side. Cut the fucking budget you fucking dipshits. We spend out the ass and all we are spending is debt. Pull out the troops, it costs too much to fund all this shit going on. The defense budget of our country could be re-distributed and cut probably in half. Why not start there? Or Senator's salaries. Either one. Fucking pricks.
