Sometimes I just get fed up with all of the politics that goes on. I get fed up with the elitist politicians that think most Americans cannot think for themselves. This whole government shutdown thing is beginning to really anger me. First, we have a President that not only outright lies to us directly about it, he then releases information that if true would be the dumbest thing ever to do. The president tells us that this budget should have been taken care of "three months ago." That in itself is a lie.
Well, let's see. When was the budget supposed to have been passed? before the fiscal year! But his party who had everything in charge was afraid to pass any budget before the elections. Nancy Pelosi and President Obama should take all the blame. However, since he is like that supervisor that tricked people into getting the job that wants all the control but none of the responsibility, he will never take responsibility for what he does. He cannot - because he has zero leadership skills.
Now he is leaking that troops will not be paid. OK, anyone knows that with the volunteer force, there is really only one obligation of the US Government to the soldier, sailor, marine, airman... etc. That is to pay them. If they are not paid - they can walk off base - walk off the job and have no obligation to perform their duties. No obligation. Don't believe me? Ask any service member in a supervisory position. You cannot be AWOL if you have not been paid. Pure and simple. This "leak of information" is deception on the part of the Whitehouse.
Harry Reid is right about one thing. It is not about budget anymore, it is about ideology. Problem is, it is the ideology of the Democratic controlled Senate and himself that has prevented action. The Senate will not even vote on the Bill passed by the house. The President in a last ditch effort to appear to be a leader called a "last minute meeting " at the Whitehouse. Gee why didn't he do it "three months ago?"
