At a time when our own government is too busy doing everything BUT its Constitutional defined job, maybe its a good thing they have decided to "shut it down".
The fact is, it is not really shut down. Only the so called Non-essential parts of it are shut down. Most of the government is still very much in operation. However, at this time many people are starting to think about a real shut down.
Why should we be paying congress to NOT do a job? For the last 30 years this country has become more and more rigid in its ability to be flexible and to solve problems. Now its one way or the other and no alternative is even considered. It is the typical THEM VS US mentality, and its taken this country to a political stalemate.
And that may be a good thing for America.
It will give us time to think about things. And if we are going to keep this country going as the freest in the world, we are going to have to do some things we may not want to do. Socialism does not work here. Individualism does. This mentality that we owe the world something needs to be squashed. We owe the world nothing. If anything they owe us.
The United States of America has done more for humanity, in its short existence of some 250 years or so, than any other known civilization in the history of mankind.
We have taken humanity from the horse and sail age to the automobile age, to the electronics age, the space age and the atomic age. All in less then 250 years.
No other civilization has advanced mankind so quickly. And this did not just effect only a few people located in and around the Mediterranean, as so many past civilizations did.. The people of this entire planet have benefited from the advancements made by the people from the United States.
As we got bigger so did our government, and many now think it is too big. That it is so big, it is doing stuff it is not supposed to be doing.
So perhaps it is good that the government is shutting down. I think something good can come out of this. I hope so.
