government avoids shut down
Is anybody surprised?

Miami Herald--

Congress and the White House averted a partial government shutdown agreeing to last-minute budget cuts of 38.5 billion from federal spending.

isn't it interesting the top news items regarding the federal shutdown was the military not getting paid and the funding for Planned Parenthood which Nancy Pelosi called a "war on women."

Give me a break!

I tell you, our government can be more entertaining than a late-night sitcom.

Frankly, I was hoping and so were a lot of other callers on various talk shows for the government to shut down despite some of the consequences of such.

If for no other reason, maybe it would force them to tighten up some of the pork belly spending with our money.

Well, at least Jay Leno and Letterman will have something to talk about.

I no longer believe that we can effectively change the government back to it's intended purpose within the current confines.
As long as politicians can hand out favors, money can buy politicians and constituents believe they have the right to another persons money we can only kick the can down the road.
