How do you feel about the US government shutdown?

@specman
The Republicans have to show up at the meeting though!

So far, the Republicans haven't returned to their offices from the summer break because their break isn't over yet! Nice work if you can find it!

@swirlie it’s already past the House! The Senate which have been there is where it is now

@specman Of course you would believe to believe exactly what you are told to believe 🐑

The reality is the law says the prices have to be locked in by November so they only have less than two weeks to make changes, unless you actually believe the party blocking changes would be willing to make even MORE changes after getting exactly what they wanted by giving up nothing.


So if they see keeping healthcare prices lower, they should be fighting for it BEFORE November.

Of course, who cares what the poor people have to pay for healthcare prices, it's not like the President actually gives a crap about them or their lives.

@specman
That's fine, but everyone is still up at their cottages on the lake, not in DC trying to get the government back to work! That was my point.

@swirlie not the senate. Just the house Republicans which can do nothing about the shutdown. The House Democrats and Republicans have already done their job.
