Im not into politics. I usually just read the news. Maybe Im missing something here.

Just last week we were told that Washington had about one or two days to agree on a debt deal. If not, the government would shut down. Then, if it went much farther than that, which it has by a week, it would be catastrophe.

So now whats going on? I have not heard any more talk about the government shut down catastrophe.

Im just going to go to work and go about my day. We elected these officials to do their jobs and work together. They all need fired or something, or at least counseled, thats what happens at my job, if someone fails to do their job properly and on time they get counseled, after 3 counsels and a review you can be fired.

No, you're not missing anything. Politicians in the US have gone completely bonkers, but like pinky said, that's been an ongoing thing...

It is quite ironic, isn't it, that these nutjob politicians have the power to affect everyone's lives, and yet they themselves will be the most insulated from any damage their idiocy causes.

We all need to get together and send DES to Washington!

Heartily agreed! Reps to DES for your letter.

And to pinky as well, because that really is a brilliant idea. I feel like that would be worthy of a blog on Huffpost or something...
