What does it have to do with the government shutting down? The ACA is already funded. This shutdown doesn't stop the ACA from being funded. The program started today. The House tried to repeal the ACA 42 times. It didn't work. Even if they had the votes to pass a bill, the Pres. wouldn't sign it into law and they don't have the votes to override a veto.Apparently you have been living in a cave, it has everything to do with funding the ACA, the republicans want to defund it and dismantle it long term, but for now they are just asking for a 1 year delay on implementation. Since the other side wont come out and play with regards to the ACA the only way to bring them to the game is to hold up the money to run the government. This also has to do with the budget ceiling but that may be to complicated for you since you want to bring race into this discussion. Jesus Christ, a white person cant disagree with a direction or decision without it always being about fucking race. The use of the race card just shows a limited capacity to discuss complicated issues, and also goes to reinforce whats my original point was regarding closed minds. I now am done discussing this, I am going to take my white ass, and get my bi racial kids ready for school, wait if I disagree with liberal ideology does that mean I hate my "nigger" kids.
They lost the White House. They lost the Senate. The ONLY reason they didn't lose the House was because of gerrymandering. WTF is the end game on this? Maintaining the shutdown until the middle of the month and then defaulting on the debt? NOBODY thinks that is a viable solution except members of the Tea Party, or so it seems.
As to your point about gov. pouring millions into projects...no shit sherlock. That is what governments do. I know its all trendy on the far right to believe we don't need a strong federal gov. but we tried that before. It didn't work. Is there room to cut some spending, to make things more efficient? Sure of course. But the first step is to be reasonable. Or maybe the first step is to ADMIT you fucked up. I get the butthurt. I really do. But the facts are that the Republicans fucked up sooooooo bad that a black man got elected president. You deal with it. You man up and take your lumps. You don't come out on the guys first day on the job and say you will do everything in your power to make sure he fails.
The ACA is the Republican model for healthcare. It is the law and it is constitutional. Get over it. Originally Posted by Passerby

Well in a socialist society governments pour their resources into these programs, but when you are sold a bill of goods that says this program will be self supporting and its not, then I as a tax paying American have a problem with it. I am now done comrade Sherlock.
"get over it" spoken like a true liberal, like I said, closed minds. "we won, were in charge", got us exactly where we are now.
