    Starting at 12 the United States government is shutting down due to voting down a House measure to derail Obamacare. For some odd reason I'm thinking about that crappy movie that came out earlier this year The Purge.
    Better lock my doors and windows.

    And who thought it was a good idea to reelect the guy who caused this? This is why I am an anarchist. This is so stupid.

    Federal level government shutting down doesn't mean the end of the world. States would still be around, and laws there would still be upheld. That's not to say that State One and State Two are part of the same country anymore, and the amount of funding anyone would get from the federal government would no longer be around.

    All they are arguing about is whether or not Obamacare should be in effect? I don't see how that screws the entire existence of the country's government but ok.

    Except that, you know, the government is (potentially) shutting down because the Republicans are so dead-set on repealing Obamacare. Passing it didn't do shit to cause this.

    Woo! I'm gonna jaywalk all over the place!

    Hey, don't go blaming just one party for the whole thing. This government shutdown was a team effort. It takes two wings attached to a very stupid bird to fly headfirst into a brick wall.

    One of the government shutdowns involved accurate forum quoting. I apologize for this loss.

    How is Obama to blame for this? There are valid reasons for hating the guy but this just goes beyond stupid. If there's somebody to blame, it's Ted Cruz for believing that this stupid political move will actually work. It won't. The insurance exchange will go up tomorrow with no problems and Obamacare will continue to exist.

    The thing is that even a lot of Republicans are like "CRUZ! STAHP! THIS **** IS STUPID!".

    This model is still a bit inaccurate because the bird would realistically swerve upwards and crash into the debt ceiling, you see.

    The Dems are guilty of pulling this kind of shite too, Republicans do it for stupider reasons (really? Your party's main goal is repealing a system that ensures health care for all Americans?) but there's blood on both sides. Obviously not ALL Republicans are part of this insanity, just as all Dems aren't some hivemind either, but politicians of both parties are tactitly supporting a toxic system by being apart of these parties, or at least not calling people like Ted Cruz out.

    This could all be avoided if, you know, people would just get informed about politics and economics, and start considering third parties.

    I just want to say one thing.

    Obamacare is a stupid name for a thing.
