Shutting down the government. How unbelievably childish. How can we depend on a government that would so readily create such a chaotic situation over a minuscule conflict like the slight changes in Obamacare. The democrats like it how it is, but the conservative republics feel it would be better to amend Obamacare to a slightly more conservation minded program. Apparently all negotiation failed, and we now find ourselves without all government facilities running such as libraries, museums, and historical monuments. We can only hope that the senate and the house come to a consensus on this as soon as posible, and end this frustrating conflict.
