Affected by Government Shutdown?

Our military should be the first to get paid & taken care off. Everybody else last!!!

Sometimes (being nice) politicians pick/chose people or subjects that will show us how dramatic the affect will be, not because of importance. I hate that..... I can think of a million things to touch before we play around with our troops.

Exactly. They should be untouchable.

US Declaration of Independence. Seems to me that some of the grievances listed apply today.

I wish we had those ^^^^ type of leaders running our country today.....

We have to settle with what we got

I guess the difference is from a nation builders to the next election committee builders

Just look at History. All previous "democracies" (republics, &c) went through a period of expansion and prosperity (ppl had to fight to get ahead but were able to fully enjoy the fruits of their labor) and then decided that the gov't should/could make Life safe and happy for everyone. Downhill from there.

Whether one likes it or not, Life is not safe nor is it easy and no society/gov't can make it different (as long as we have more ppl than we have resources). Darwin wins in the long run.

Sad but very true.

Even sadder that I am glad to be 55 and not 25. I may just make it before the whole thing collapses.

The Great Society will eventually consume this country. The process started in 1964 and has continued ever since while the plight of those who were to benefit from it fall farther behind.

Entitlements only work if those "entitled" are out numbered by those who provide the resources for the entitlements.

Once we have less people working than not working, well

True, but Darwin's theory was about survival through adaptation, evolution and natural selection. This is true for every species and doesn't mean we can't coexist.

One of the problems is that Man now has the ability to circumvent Darwin (at least for a little while). We have increased lifespans and reduced mortality rates to the point where we are outgrowing what society and the environment can sustain. We have created a bubble that will eventually burst. Same with the economy.
