Gov. Shutdown?

[jmeitrem]

This is a very informative thread, and I'm glad to see respect coming from both sides. I agree that everyone in D.C. is stubborn and proud, but you would think that the left could see the facts that ACA is not ready and is falling apart at the seams. A delay to work out the kinks seems like a perfect compromise if we must implement this job-killing, wealth-redistributing law.
Sklineho, it's worth noting that this is a Republic, where the majority cannot impose their will on the minority. I don't see the democratic process being broken here; I see checks and balances at work. It certainly could have been handled with more eloquence and with better timing, but I believe the House is exercising its democratic right and its purpose.

I'm sure nothing significant will get accomplished until the GOP loses the House or the Dems lose the Senate. I just wish that the left would agree to a budget with less spending instead of trying to steal from those who have earned their fortune. For as much as they tout saving the environment for generations to come, they sure don't mind spending generations of money to keep their base voting for them today.

I don't intend to offend, this is just how I see things. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
