Yes. What is wrong with that? At least they would keep a lot of things running. Its the dems who insist on the absolutist 'all or nothing, we don't care if everything stays shutdown' stance.
It's a waste of time, the American people disagree with the shutdown, overwhelmingly in most polls, this is counter to the wants of the majority and instead of pissing away tax dollars fucking wasting time they should grow up and take care of the problem.
so they pass all these bills which will be moot in what two weeks? efficiency is not paramount I take it.
Why is the government shut down? explain to me in your own words so I can understand where you are coming from. I don't see one rational reason for this to be honest. Even those arguments resembling a modicum of reason crumble under scrutiny.
1. To stop obamacare-- reality it has started,it passed repeal 41 times and was upheld by the SC. Not to mention passed the house and senate. It's impossible to stop in this manner, follow proper legislative means to counter the law as you would others. This is a first for the government to be shut down because a minority want to stop a LAW, that is already taking place.
2.Obamacare will kill jobs... nope. 97% of small businesses will be unaffected as under 50 employees (most plans go to 250 for SB definition) will not be effected. the effect on business is to force big corporations with over 50 employees making over 50 k a year to ensure HI for all it's employers. All this other bullshit is false, unless you were providing no health care and thus a deadbeat.
3. Obamacare is unconstitutional, nope.
4. The penalities, oh lord the penalties. Oh by the way they will never exceed the cheapest plan and in most cases will be 95 bucks at the end of the year, whilst still getting bronze treatment. It's a fucking win for the average person, the value exceeds the bill. So if you don't want healthcare, sorry, join the rest of the world, I think 95 bucks for health care is pretty good if you can't afford fuck all. This is defined as under 25 k from memory, may have changed.
5. Mandates. They have to occur, if you don't know why then you shouldn't be discussing the matter.
Some may not want universal healthcare, the majority does, you lose.
