What I get confused about and fail to understand, is why people get excited about hearing that others are being furloughed. What's so good about people not being able to support their family, or possibly default on debt and even worse allow city and state budgets to shrink? We all lose together.
- camus 13y agoIsnt that whole shutdown about spending ? well this is where money could be saved, by aborting all these expensive and useless weapon deals, instead of cutting food stamps for the poor. US society dont need new tanks, drones or missiles. Let's cut defense spending.
- adestefan 13y agoNo. The shutdown is about a minority faction of the GOP trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act which is already funded. It has nothing to do with spending.
- betterunix 13y agoThe shutdown is a political maneuver by a small faction that would otherwise lack power.
