Govt shutdown

[know1]

Huh? Obamacare is the whole reason we're in shutdown mode. Rather than pass a clean Continuing Resolution (CR), the House has tacked on amendments to delay Obamacare implementation, delay the individual mandate, repeal medical devices tax, etc.

The debt ceiling issue won't hit the fan until Oct. 17.

OK. Let's say those aren't tacked on. If they refuse to raise the debt ceiling then we'll be right back where we are in 2 weeks.

And I do not want them to raise it, but I know that they ultimately will.

Yep, they'll raise it after they find a way to score whatever political points they feel like they need to score.

When will they ever stop raising it? We should demand it.
