ACA (Obamacare) failure in motion

The hits just keep on giving.  Remember, you were told that you could keep your insurance if you wanted. 

But what has come of the truth? 

•   Sticker shock from "supporters"
• Blaming insurers for dropping of coverage
• Continuing to say they aren't taking away health plans. 
•  President Obama new that people would have have to lose many of their health plans.  

But they forged ahead anyway, even with major failures just before launch.   

To be continued.... 

Is the #Shutdown designed to infuriate the public?

...or is it just a stupid failure where the administration attempts to "barrycade" the public from the open air monuments, through the orders of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).  Let's take a look at the incidents that makes the administration look petty and irrational.

• Barrycades at WWI Memorial (very limited), WWII Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Lincoln Memorial,   Jefferson Memorial, National Mall, Iwo Jima Memorial, MLK Memorial, etc.  Some of these were created and funded by private funds and costs the government nothing to keep them open.  And these people must be critical to government function?
• Trying to block access to Florida Bay?  I guess we can't have access to the ocean?
• Harry Reid's irrational comments about funding the NIH for children with cancer? 
• Shutting down of government websites, including "We the People." 

Just because the Republicans and Democrats can't play nicely, the White House and OMB just choose to punish the populace with these petty and petulant displays of disdain for the American public.  President Obama, tear down these "barrycades". 

Government #shutdown - Day 1

Oh, the horror!  The humanity!  Early today, the government shutdown went into effect , bringing the whole world crashing down.  Everything that went wrong today must have been caused by the shutdown!  I shutter to see what exactly happened. 

The whole government probably did not report for work.  Chaos, anarchy!  Wait, what?  80% of the federal government actually reported to work today? 

I guess they must all be doing important things, like putting barricades around open air national monuments so people who usually can go to it unsupervised 24x7 cannot go to it when the government is closed? Or try to close bike routes used for bike commuting around DC?

Maybe we just need to shutdown perfectly functioning websites with a message that the government is closed? 

Or maybe, just maybe, this might be a manufactured crisis in order to push one side's or another's agenda with squabbling and petty disdain that the Legislative and Executive Branches have for the American people to receive the services taxes are paid on.  We have elected a politicians who are such ideologues on the left and right that they refuse to compromise/find middle ground because of the fear of a primary challenge from someone even more extreme in their party.  The political process is so broken right now that it may be time for a moderate third party, one who respects the rights and pocketbooks of the American people to sweep in and finally restore the government back to the people, as opposed to the special interests the left and right wings of the Republocrat party.
