The Government is shutting down???!!!

So let me get this straight bc those elected to office cannot come to an agreement about the health care reform the government will be shutting down, can someone please explain how that works?
What I have read about the shut down has absolutely pissed me off. Our military will have to continue working but instead of getting paid they will get IOU's, no national sites will be open so no site seeing in DC, no passports will be issued, no paychecks for Gov employees but the most absurd and frustrating thing is that those who are creating this shut down will not feel the affects bc they will still get paid. How is the world does that make sense?

I think it's time the American public rise and vote EVERYONE out of office. These people are not helping our country or the people they serve only making things worse. It's time for a change. I am sure there are some good people on Capital hill who do not deserve to be ousted but bc of all those who cannot play well with others they will all face the consequences. They chose to act like children they will be treated as such.

How must we look to the rest of the world when we go in to other countries to "help" or "fix" their issues but the government here cannot work together to keep it running? Seriously people, get it together. We need to stop being the worlds police and get our own country fixed up. For goodness sake 13 people were shot in Chicago on a Thursday night, including a 3 year old child! For goodness sake senior citizens are losing their homes bc of nominal debts and errors in accounting. For goodness sake an adjunct professor died of cancer bc she couldn't afford treatment after losing her $10K/year job which allowed her to live in her office on campus. I am sure there are many more For Goodness Sake notions out there that a quick glance at any news site could provide me with but quite frankly it all makes me too sad.
