Shut-down official. Republicans last-minute "No wait! We wanna talk now!!" ignored

[Quantum Windbag]

Right, except spending under Obama has actually decreased.

Haven't had a drink in years. Well, except for a glass of wine but none tonight I work tomorrow. Actually need to get to bed now.

Government spending is the slowest it has been in decades under Obama. It's an easy enough thing to look up.

Please, post the same stupid article again, I need a laugh.

You know what I don't get? Your side won. So why all the hostility.

There are no winners in this mess.

Yes there are. You got exactly what you wanted. The government is shut down. Tea Party leaders are ecstatic. Excellent work! Why not just kick back and enjoy the win.

If anyone truly wanted this shutdown then they are crazy and shouldn't be in power.

Washington (CNN) -- With the government shut down over a bitter partisan battle over the new health care law, the approval rating for Congress is plummeting to historic lows.

And a CNN/ORC International poll released on Monday indicates that it's not just Congress and its top leaders making history for all the wrong reasons. It's also the tea party and the Democratic and Republican parties.

According to the survey, just 10% of Americans say they approve of the job Congress is doing, an all-time low in a CNN poll. And 87% say they disapprove of the job federal lawmakers are doing, higher than it's ever been in CNN polling.

The 10% approval rating in the new CNN survey, which was conducted Friday through Sunday, is down 10 percentage points from CNN's previous survey at the beginning of the month. The 87% disapproval rating is a jump of nine points from the first week in September.

Why Republicans Want To Shut Government - Business Insider

Because the first parts of the government that will be shut down are the parts of the government that the Tea Party extremists say they hate!

Specifically:

• The Environmental Protection Agency. The Tea Party extremists don't care about the environment and hate the organization dedicated to protecting it. So the fact that the EPA will have to furlough all but 1,069 of its 16,200 workers is great news to them. (Rebecca Ballhaus of the Wall Street Journal).
• The National Labor Relations Board. The Tea Party extremists hate the NLRB, which tries to make sure that the country's workers are treated fairly. So it's presumably awesome that the NLRB will furlough all but 11 of its 1,611 staffers. (WSJ)
• Food stamps for Women, Infants, and Children. The Tea Party extremists hate food stamps. So they'll be happy a special federal "WIC" food stamps program will be shut down. (Some bad news for Tea Party folks here, though. The broader food stamps program will continue.) (USA Today)
• The Commodities Futures Trading Commission. The Tea Party extremists don't think we should have industry rules or regulators, so the fact that only 8 of the CFTC's 650 workers will come to work and get paid after the shutdown is downright exciting. (WSJ)
• National parks and museums will close. The Tea Party extremists don't care about nature. And museums are for elitists. (WSJ)
• Internal Revenue Service audits. The Tea Party extremists hate, hate, hate the IRS. So they'll be pleased that annoying IRS bureaucrats won't be able to hassle free people and confiscate more money from them. Unfortunately, they'll still owe taxes. And the IRS will still exist.
• The Census Bureau will stop collecting data. Who needs data? (WSJ)
• Applications for small-business loans won't be processed. The Tea Party extremists don't think the government should make small-business loans. (WSJ)

And so on...

You can't be serious?

BD earlier: 'I disagree with you guys. That means you guys are all terrorists!'

(20 minutes)

BD now: 'Why is everyone so hostile?'

Seems like all the hostility was coming from you earlier.

Pulled that from there feed on FB so does that mean they are now backpedaling and giving in?

I'm thinking maybe you should change your panties, they seem a bit wet over YOUR excitement about the shutdown.

Ps. The goal is to defund obamacare not shutting down the government. Had that been achieved then you might have a point. As it is all you have are your cut n paste posts. Old BDboop rides again

On cusp of shutdown, House conservatives excited, say they are doing the right thing - The Washington Post

While much of official Washington on Saturday somberly faced the likelihood of a government shutdown, the most conservative members of the House sported a different expression.

They were smiling.

“We’re very excited,” said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). “It’s exactly what we wanted, and we got it.”

Only 800,000 people will be furloughed out of 2.4 million government employees. That means 1.6 million people will still be going to work when the government "shuts down."

All those poor gsa employees won't be able to attend the latest tax payer funded Star Trek skit tomorrow.

Poor things

 

[MisterBeale]

Good job republicans! Rush and Hannity will have a TON to talk about tomorrow! Count that as a win!

I guess

Good job Republicans and Democrats. People that credit or attack one side for this come across as ignorant to me.

Well, then, the Democrats are officially to blame for this. They just rejected the last chance to negotiate and perhaps breach the impasse on the CR.
