"Government Shutdown"

The "government shutdown" is a symptom of everything that is wrong with our Congress and government.

Both parties continue to fail Americans.  If you take sides in this absurdity you are part of the problem and not the resolution. Interesting to note that Congress still gets paid, while government employees may lose their jobs. I personally plan to vote in all new blood into the House and Senate, as a small statement that the old ways must go.  We need a new era of intelligent problem solving and not what currently serves Washington.  We need leaders to rise up and plan for the community good and not for their own special interests.  The democrats are wrong, the republicans are wrong and so is President Obama.
