My mom works out at the base and has been affected first hand. Even she, who happens to be more Republican leaning and stubborn, understands this is the result of Republicans who refuse to respect and uphold the legislative process. Even she, who doesn’t fully agree with the ACA, knows that if the law is to be fixed or reworked, that it shouldn’t be tied to a budget. We may disagree all the time, but this is something we solely agree on and hope that this reckless accord is ended soon. Emails are in process to Mr. Muckeon.

The house of representatives is actually doing their job. Believe it or not, the ACA is part of the budget and needs to be fixed. The budget can be approved without the ACA attached and then your Mom will be back at work and the ACA can be modified. How about you write your Democrat representatives and ask them to actually represent their part within the process instead of a stalemate? Passing the ACA within the budget just to appease Democrats and then possibly make changes to it later, (if any,) is just as horrible as Pelosi saying we have to pass it before we know what’s in it. What kind of company would work under that condition and then pay for something this botched up before getting the kinks out. Private industry can’t work that way and neither should the government. They have had over four years of not passing a budget. They are BOTH at fault.

ACA passed the house the senate and a signed law upheld by the supreme court, over 43 times the GOP failed to overturn it. Face it, it’s over. If this okay with u would it be OK if President said I won’t sign this bill until I get gun control or anything he wants. Stop drinking the CRUZAID. All this does it make it more likely Buck Mckeon & McCarty lose their seats. You say I’ll break both your legs no I’ll break only one,I’m negotiating. Stop teabagger please
red says
Wrong, mom’s not at work and aca is still law, get it through your head
red says
It’s the law, you lost move on, no matter how many tantrums you have. Mckeon and McCarty will be the bigger losers
Mr. Mister says
No both parties are not at fault. This is a REPUBLICAN shutdown. Yes, the ACA must be worked into the budget, however, the tactics taken by the GOP to SHUTDOWN the gov’t over the funding of the ACA is their doing. So following your logic of ‘doing their job’, we should be able to attach any preexisting LAW that needs funding to the budget? It’s already the law, faced close to 50 attempts to reverse/repeal/dismantle it, upheld by the Supreme Court (you know them, right? highlest law in the land), and yet it’s ok to risk our economic recovery because a couple of share holders sitting on a board somewhere are gonna feel the pinch? The lower level workers are the face of ANY company. But yet the people at the top say, ‘Screw you guys, how dare you ask for health insurance? We already pay you for your work. How dare you see a doctor. Well it’s this law’s fault I have to cut your hours and/or let you go. It has nothing to do with my profit margin being cut by less than half a percent.’
The House is doing their job for the constituents who funded their campaigns (.02%), while the remaining constituents (99.98%), you know, the voters, the little guy, the ones that they politicians claim to represent, are getting any benefit from this. The Kock brothers donated $200 million to have the
Mr. Mister says
ACA battled, this month alone. So what your saying about this whole both parties responsible, holds no water. Now, even worse, there are enough votes in the house to pass a ‘clean’ CR with uh oh, BIPARTISAN support. Will Boehner call a vote though? You know, to end this shutdown he really really absolutely wants to end and never wanted in the first place? No, he won’t. Care to tell me why? Oh wait, he has stated the Republicans need to get something out of this. Whilst Obama, and the Democrats, want…wait for it…nothing but what was already in place, including the sequester. So, tell me again, how does this SHUTDOWN, at all, fall onto the Democrats?
red says
Exactly, Mckeon sits back while we don’t bring our bodies home, hopefully after this he will leave and teabagger Kevin McCarthy with him. Call buck 274-9688 tell him how shameful he is
William says
@red. I did a double-take when I saw your username next to today’s day reading it as ‘red October’. That was part of a movie title. “The Hunt for….”
Anyway, I agree with you about McKeon and McCarthy. They would be totally useless if they weren’t causing so much damage to the country.
Mr. Mister says
Speaking of “is just as horrible as Pelosi saying we have to pass it before we know what’s in it”…wasn’t that Romeny’s tax plan. Elect me as president and then I’ll tell you my tax plan and who it really will benefit. I guess that’s ok when you’re a conservative but blasphamous if you’re not.
