Well, let me just say that I think all this shutdown talk has made me sick to my stomach. Not that I'm planning a trip to the Smithsonian mind you, rather, more generally speaking, that these infantile, obstreperous, PE#$*C#$$$KER headed politicians can't put away their 4'' egos long enough to COMPROMISE and agree to a level of budget cuts that would keep us going -- is UNFATHOMABLE!!!! Keep us going I ask, not EVEN FIX THE LARGER PROBLEM(S)!!!!!
I'll tell you right now, should the heaven shine down on me this fall and I get my MD acceptance letter, and then head into an anesthesia residency - I assure you I will serve the time to get that fellowship and (PGY5) so I can - at any GIVEN MOMENT - bolt the heck north to canada if the time comes, with my F U money tucked away, hacksaw in one hand, middle finger in the other -- all directly pointed at Capitol Hill. I'll be the HUMAN EMBODIMENT of Woody Harrelson's character in ZOMBIELAND, when he shouts out, "Time to NUT UP, or SHUT UP!!!!"
If I have to head east instead. Fine. South. I can do that too. Six years of french. Kids have Brazilian passports as well. I can go in any direction I would think. And I'm going to make certain I CAN GO.
The level of inane bickering has reached a new juncture, that people who make a pittance as it is (i.e. govt workers) are going to be sent packing, induces my gag reflex. While these IDIOTS sit on their paychecks and piss on each other's ideas, all led by the man himself, Pres. Obama. Not what I bargained for when I switched teams from 12 years of Rep to Dem, just, for lack of a better reason, a change. FAIL.
Gas in Dade County is over 4.00$ a gallon, and it'll be that real soon up here as well. The LEGISLATIVE BRANCH of the government has totally let me down. They don't interpret these laws, they don't enforce them, they MAKE THEM, and they can't get their ****E together enough to figure this one out. Financial chaos and nothing short of it. Blade and all the others who say we are in dire straights here, I think you are right.
From the richest country, to a country that cannot even manage its own "wealth". We cannot even support NPR anymore? And we'll have to cut education and science programs as well? Really sad for my kids. Really really sad. Heaven forbid there is another attack or national disaster. We can't even shovel the snow in our largest city after a huge blizzard. We cannot even respond to ONE disaster appropriately, we are so strapped and backward-looking. It sucks. Really does. Sure, we've had shutdowns before, but these party leaders need to have figured this one out after we are all starting to see a change in unemployment, housing prices, all of it. It's not the time for this.
How long before we see that importing bazilliions more than we export is killing us. When will see that our at large FUNDING of the Chinese government, while we boycott a neighbor, with the same politics, 175 miles south of my home, is killing this country? STUPIDITY. And Ego. WHY was my MAC computer (AS IN SUNNYVALE CALIFORNIA) shipped to me from Hong Kong? When will I be able to flip over a toy from TARGET and see that it was made in Texas and not CHINA?!?!? We have collectively sold our American souls over the last 100 years and we are, about I'm afraid, to pay dearly. Cars from Japan fill our streets, ever look around when you are in Tokyo? Rio? Sure, I see some Fords in Europe, WHERE ELSE??? We're like the pre-pubescent neophyte Freshman college student who sees the CITIBANK CREDIT CARD booth at the local Harvard College Fair on campus. Sign here here and here please. 2000$ credit limit. GONE in FOUR DAYS after taking "Chickey Baby" to Sushi Nobu, Nordstroms, AMC 20 Cineplex and then Walgreens for some LUBE and Condoms. Only difference is we, the People, are inserting our VERY OWN Financial PHALLI into our VERY OWN Financial RECTI. Enough already. Seriously.
If it were up to me, I would NOT VOTE for a single member of Congress, OR THE WHITE HOUSE, who is a current incumbent -- in the next election. Out. All of them.
Vent over. Anyone agree? Disagree?
