Ho hum. Nothing new to see here. Let's move along.

Because all the tech guys are furloughed.

I work for a very large company that electronically processes millions of transactions a week. I wonder what our customers would think if we told them one day that they couldn't access our systems to input their payroll because of a "glitch".

No, I'd rather not think about it.

But your company's budget does not get jerked around or workers furloughed by the US Congress. Nor can it get shut down by an act of congress. Not a very good analogy.

You're right. Bad analogy. Our customers can take their business elsewhere if they choose. With Obamacare, you still have to pay even if you choose not to buy the product. And if we lose customers we loose money. With the government, I can't help but notice that they will still be accepting taxes even when they're shut down.

Losing argument, Mike.

Obama today was very effective based on the reaction of the locals.

Everyone was blasting the repubs.

It is rare that I get this uniformity from my local street lawyers.

Are you for every expenditure that our government incurs using your tax dollars? So why pick on Obamacare?

Obamacare is a hastily drawn act and no one really understands it even now. So it the the duty of the legislature to negotiate and whittle away the bad parts and make it workable. Shutting down the government just because a small group does not like it is political terrorism. You do realize that if Boehner allows the congress to vote on the CR as drafted by the Senate, it will pass? Instead he is held hostage by the TP. I read somewhere that the best Boehner could do is to allow a vote in Congress, let the act pass and then resign his leadership. Now that would be real leadership.
