Government Shutdown

Where is all the concern?  There will not be a government shutdown.  This happened several years ago and was a power play which resolved itself in a few weeks. 

It is another dramatic tactic to bring attention to our capitol and the power struggle that is this United States.  It isn't like they don't have an operational budget.  It is because the two political parties are struggling to show strength for their interest. 

Budgets are really very simple but really hard to stick to.  You have a certain amount of money coming in and you have a certain amount of services to provide.  Any shortfall calls for cuts in services and any overage should be dumped in a "savings" account to cover emergencies. 

You can't get blood from a turnip and all those legislators that have made promises they now can't keep will have to face the consequences of their mouth overflow.  You don't make promises you can't keep. 

These knowledgeable people need to get the street smarts of their president and get on with business.  After all aren't the political parties no more than organized people fighting for power and control.  No where is more crimes committed than on capitol hill and the perpetrators are all covered by diplomatic immunity.

Just a though!
