In order to solve this problem with the budget both the Republican and Democratic parties need to stop bickering over the numbers and start working together as equals to find a solution. Who cares if you cut $61 billion or $33 billion if you do not make a decision twice as much will be lost when you shut down the local government ran businesses. When they need to be looking at is how much they are taxing the rich and stop cutting heath care and education. How else do they expect this country to have any kind of future if not for the youth and educated. I would also like to point out one big problem with shutting down local government businesses, it will create a lot of anxiety and fear in the public and people will stop spending their money. This in turn will cause the current recession to get worse.
I think they need to pass the bill to extend the deadline for another week but some major changes better start. Otherwise, there will not be much of a government shutdown battle because the government will be shut down. The last comment I would like to make is it would be a mistake for the government to cut military spending not only would that be bad for the people who are fighting overseas but also to those of us who are still here in America. I think the Democratic Party needs to see the importance of defense spending and stop trying to cut back their spending. The main thing to understand is that there are many problems that will not be solved overnight and though we might go through some hard times they will get better.

I completely agree, my sister's boyfriend is being docked pay because of this situation. He works in some type of special intelligence and leaves frequently overseas, and he can't even depend on a steady income from the government right now. They docked him half of his paycheck last month. It's frustrating.
Yeah, cutting spending on education isn't going to help in the long term or short term. When people go to school and get an education, they tend to get better jobs that pay more money and then they pay more in taxes. Henceforth more money for the government with those increased tax amounts. This is especially true at community and technical colleges where lots of students are getting degrees and re-training to get back into the workforce. Instead of being a drain on government money via unemployment or other social services, after getting re-trained people are going back into the workforce. But now higher education is getting cut and we're turning students away who just want to better their lives and get back on their merry way to paying more in taxes.
What they do not seem to understand is that they are affecting the wrong people instead of taxing or docking pay of those that are serving our country or trying to improve the way we live they should be focusing on the rich. I just read another article today that said that the rich are getting major tax breaks and only pay something like 20 percent of their income some only pay 15 percent. Our government really needs to reassess who needs to be affected the most by these budget cuts.
