Well…the government shutdown nonsense has been kicked down the road until after New Years and it’s because of the dems that anything got passed…and we save the day…again…I, for one, am really tired of his crap but we did get what we wanted and that was to keep the right wing assholes from gutting every program that helps normal people…and they didn’t get any tax cuts for their rich buddies, either…so we now have a clean continuing resolution that will keep things operating for 6 weeks….and the really galling thing is that there were over 90 repubs in the House that voted against…you know the ones…who are so ignorant they have no clue how the government even works but they do know that people living “easy” on SS don’t deserve it…so now I can breathe easy for 6 more weeks and know I’ll still have enough money to live on….geez…
