Government Shutdown?

Did anyone notice that there's a government shutdown? Must not be too serious if we haven't noticed anything. Maybe the government is just too darn big and needs to be trimmed.

As you may or may not know, the main sticking point is democrats want $1 trillion for ILLEGAL ALIEN health care. For those claiming, "No they don't" you're not paying attention to New York, California and Illinois who have all passed laws funding ILLEGAL ALIEN care through programs that are largely funded by the federal government. Just because you pass the money around doesn't mean the source changed.

But aside from that, they're demanding continuation or increasing payments for subsidies to the Obamacare Act - subsidies that democrats negotiated a sunset provision for.

• so they're protesting the provisions they passed
• why does anyone need "subsidies" for the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare)? 

The fact that a subsidy exists means the "affordable care" isn't actually....affordable.

Thanks again Sparklefarts! Something to think about.
