Government shutdown ends

I went to bed last night at 10 pm after waiting for the bill to be passed about ending the government shutdown and raising the debt ceiling. I didn't want to post this before it actually happened, in case anything crazy happened.

So the cycle continues of not getting anything done inside the government but what else is new? Due to our divided government, nothing has been accomplished. The only thing that has is further tension between parties. Obamacare has already been approved and gone through judicial review and is set to be activated but the Republicans refuse to let it happen even though they are at a complete disadvantage. They maybe saving us from trouble in the moment but having the raise the debt limit as much as they have, in the long term, it only does harm. 

Hopefully by the beginning of 2014, the government will cooperate with each other and figure out a solution, but I won't be surprised if this is pushed back even further.

  1. Hey Britton! Happy late Birthday! I agree with you that I feel like nothing has really changed in the government's situation. If the whole reason we shutdown was to protest ObamaCare then the Republicans should not have give in. Now it just seems like a wasteful event that happened. I think this whole thing has been ridiculous. I think I am becoming a bit jaded because I do not believe that under Obama there will be any kind of cooperation in Congress in the future, but I am glad someone is still hopeful! Great post! thanks for staying up for it!
