Is Any of It Essential?

The President and the other Democrats in Washington have said that they don't care if the shutdown lasts for months.  They've also been quoted as saying that the shutdown is dangerous and will harm the economy.  So what is going on here?  That's pretty simple.  The Democrats are either disingenuous or they don't care about the American economy.  They don't care if the economy goes down the tubes, as long as the problem can be blamed on the Republicans.  In fact, if the economy was to take a turn for the worst in the near future, my crystal ball says that the Democrats in Washington can use this shutdown to blame the economic problems on the Republicans.  The Democrats don't care about you or me or even the Democrat voters.  Maybe they prefer us to be unemployed and dependent on them for everything in our lives.

I wonder if the Democrats have miscalculated the results of their actions.  You see, most Americans can see through the liberal tactic of trying to intensify the pain of each and every cut in federal spending.  The press is busy telling these politicians what they want to hear.  The press says the Republicans have shutdown the government.  More and more of us have recognized the MessAPolitico that is going on in Washington though.  We are fed up with the lies and manipulation.  We don't want anymore of this political stalemate inside the Beltway.  Our politicians are paid a very healthy salary to represent their constituents on the floor of Congress.  The voters are giving all of them poor grades on everything.  That's right, all of them get failing grades.

As the shutdown continues, I haven't noticed any consequences personally.  Have you?  You would think that we would eventually realize that most of the money we spend to fund all the government agencies is a total waste.  Not only do we spend $100s of billions on all of these things, but we also get stuck with the unintended consequences of these agencies.  This is the essence of the MessAPolitico.  I say keep it shutdown for months and months and months.  Then, take a look at how bad or good things are.  I believe things will be just fine.  Then we can tell the liberals that we don't need to fund all that stuff their pushing.
