This is day 10 of the Confederate/​Republican shut down of the Federal Government. This shut down is hav­ing dis­as­trous con­se­quences for the Country both in eco­nom­ic terms and on the lives of Americans employed by the Feds, there are also resid­ual con­se­quences yet to be report­ed on. CNN reports more than 9 mil­lion moth­ers and their babies are at risk as WIC grinds to a halt.http://​www​.cnn​.com/​2​0​1​3​/​0​9​/​3​0​/​p​o​l​i​t​i​c​s​/​g​o​v​e​r​n​m​e​n​t​-​s​h​u​t​d​o​w​n​-​u​p​-​t​o​-​s​p​e​e​d​/​i​n​d​e​x​.​h​tml.The Los Angeles Times details how a shut down affects the coun­try and the lives of ordi­nary Americans .http://​www​.latimes​.com/​n​a​t​i​o​n​/​p​o​l​i​t​i​c​s​/​p​o​l​i​t​i​c​s​n​o​w​/​l​a​-​p​n​-​g​o​v​e​r​n​m​e​n​t​-​s​h​u​t​d​o​w​n​-​q​-​a​n​d​-​a​-​2​0​1​3​0​9​3​0​,​0​,​5​5​6​4​5​3​1​.​s​t​ory. The risk to the coun­try and peo­ple are stark and dra­mat­ic. Families unable to bury mil­i­tary fam­i­ly mem­bers killed in com­bat. Babies and moth­ers unable to source basic nutri­tion­al sus­te­nance. Parks and Monuments shut­tered. Families put at risk of fore­clo­sure , unable to pay their mort­gage commitments.The list goes on and on. Despite the pain they are caus­ing to the coun­try the band of extor­tion­ist oper­at­ing in the House have decid­ed to hold fast to their demands. Which start­ed about de-fund­ing and repeal­ing the Affordable Care Act , to “we will not be dis­re­spect­ed , we have to get some­thing out of this, we don’t even know what that is”. That has since evolved into whin­ing about bud­get issues. They sim­ply refuse to budge from their non­sen­si­cal extor­tion­ist demands.

None of the pain mat­tered to Confederate/​Republicans, why would they care it’s just the lit­tle peo­ple who are hurt­ing. But an even big­ger prob­lem is loom­ing. The Federal debt lim­it needs to be raised, this is not more Federal spend­ing , it sim­ply allows the Government to pay the bills already autho­rized by the Congress. But most impor­tant­ly a default by the Government would mean that the faith investors both local and for­eign have in America as a place to invest would poten­tial­ly be a thing of the past. That would impact every­one , but it would cause seri­ous harm to the big fat cats many of whom are fund­ing the present chaos in the coun­try, obliv­i­ous and ill-informed of the unin­tend­ed con­se­quences of their actions.

Charles a David Koch. Billionaire fun­ders of the Tea-Party hoax.

ΤHEN OCT .9thKoch Industries to sen­a­tors: We haven’t lob­bied to ‘defund ObamaCare

Koch Industries dis­missed accu­sa­tions it has endorsed the Republican tac­tic of link­ing lan­guage to de fund Obama Care to gov­ern­ment spend­ing bills. “Koch has not tak­en a posi­tion on the leg­isla­tive tac­tic of tying the con­tin­u­ing res­o­lu­tion to de-fund­ing Obama Care nor have we lob­bied on leg­isla­tive pro­vi­sions de fund­ing Obama Care,” Philip Ellender, Koch’s gov­ern­ment and pub­lic affairs pres­i­dent, wrote in a let­ter to Senate law­mak­ers Wednesday. Koch Industries is a con­glom­er­ate of com­pa­nies includ­ing Dixie Cups, Lycra and Brawny paper tow­els — all owned by the bil­lion­aire Koch broth­ers. Charles and David Koch, a recent New York Times report says, have been fun­nel­ing mon­ey into the GOP’s effort to destroy President Obama’s health­care law. They have been major back­ers of the Tea Party move­ment, which has led the push to de fund Obama Care in Congress.http://​the​hill​.com/​b​l​o​g​s​/​b​l​o​g​-​b​r​i​e​f​i​n​g​-​r​o​o​m​/​n​e​w​s​/​3​2​7​4​4​9​-​k​o​c​h​-​i​n​d​u​s​t​r​i​e​s​-​t​o​-​s​e​n​a​t​o​r​s​-​w​e​-​h​a​v​e​n​t​-​l​o​b​b​i​e​d​-​t​o​-​d​e​f​u​n​d​-​o​b​a​m​a​c​are.

OCTOBER 10th. Republicans to give President assur­ance of a clean Continuation Resolution Bill to fund the Government, albeit for anoth­er 6 Weeks.…. Wow.

If you ever won­dered whether you mat­tered? That ques­tion is now answered. Charles and David Koch Billionaire fun­ders of the Tea-Party and oth­er right-wing groups now real­ize the con­se­quences of their actions will hit them where it hurts , in their pock­et-books. They dis­tance them­selves, the pup­pets in House runs to the pres­i­dent tail between their legs. The Speaker of the house says they will offer to extend the debt ceil­ing if the President will agree to cuts, that would poten­tial­ly leave the Government still shut­tered. Joy-Anne Reid of the Grio​.com char­ac­ter­ized it this way . “So they have decid­ed not to release the hostage, only not to shoot the hostage, at least until Thanksgiving”. The big mon­ey pup­peteers pulled back when they real­ized they are about to feel finan­cial pain, the lit­tle ide­o­log­i­cal Puppets in the Congress runs to strike a deal.

NO

So they go to the White House to meet the pres­i­dent still hold­ing hostage the American peo­ple. The President said “No”
