If American voters can't understand that it's wrong that 20% of the population - The Tea Party - can shut down the government and ruin the national and world economy by refusing to honor past debts - and punish that party in the voting booth - then they will deserve all the grief that attends them.

I read a VERY informative New Yorker article about the Koch Brothers 3 years or so ago. Lemme see if i can link it... ooh that was easy » http://www.newyorker.com/reporti…
Would be nice if Obama called out the Tea Party's puppet masters on the mic this time around—lord knows they deserve a bigger spotlight.
PS. if you read that New Yorker Koch Brothers article, which i highly recommend, you can unwind with "Chasing Ice" on netflix afterwards. Watch your neurons sparkle and thank me later.

You must be one heck of a juggler, yurimon.
When everyone is taking about potential conflict in Syria, you say it's just a distraction from the economy.
And then when everyone is talking about the economy (the shutdown), you say it's just a distraction from some other unnamed thing.
Pretty sneaky, sis.- I JUST GOT DISTRACTED

If we are talking conspiracy theory, which has at least something grounded in reality, then this would all look exactly like Yuri pointed out - divide and conquer.
Religious nut jobs - easy target, just point the finger (I saw some on Yahoo (I know, shouldn't be ready those absurbd commented...if you REALLY want to lose faith in any logic in humanity, go there) calling anyone not ok with "gotta cut debt with any consequence" (stated more eloquently here, of course) "Libbies")
Here we have the Tea Partiers (ironic, I think, that "partiers" is in their title as all they seem to do is nothing amongst themselves, laugh at others and point fingers) momentum. Talk about Christian "values". "Freedom" comes up, too, which is a convenient one to talk some smack about guns and how we should all carry one, preferably an assault rifle (why not just let them all be full auto, right? It'd probably be safer because idiots that weren't trained well would empty a clip in seconds, mostly at the ceiling) and NO ONE should dictate anything about health.
Wealthy - next we have the wealthy. They've become more absurdly disproportionate to the rest of the country it makes my head hurt. There is the "don't penalize the successful" campaign that is almost as good as "trickle down theory". "Don't penalize the 'job creators'" was a great one, but then, BAM, they didn't create jobs with all that money.
Most of them don't care for or about the TP's, just that the TP's are pushing an agenda that benefits the wealthy the most. Good planning, if that is, indeed, a 'plot' (Koch brothers, ahem).The Rest of Us - try to decipher "logic", get stressed and frustrated, and keep scratching our head at the idiots in washington and the nut jobs that are back some of them. We all want universal health care, sound education (we got a bill here to put music classes back in for $133/year. WTF?! They take music classes out to save a few hundred bucks?!), opportunities, fair gov't w/o wars, reliable infrastructure, etc., etc. All, seemingly logical stuff that everyone would want.
Ultimately, people are lazy (and stupid). Washington has given us a distracting soap opera that further polarizes - divides - America. There's not really even anything to educate yourself on, the titles of the stories tell the entire story.
The reality is that none of it matters. Just look at the Monsanto debates, GMO's, wars, etc. It doesn't matter who votes for what, those things are happening everyday, regardless of party.
I am starting to believe that this is a just a shell game. Distraction with deliberate purposes. Not everyone, of course, but the real players (Monsanto, Halliburton, etc., etc.) are still doing the deals behind closed doors. Those decisions WILL impact us, and w/o watchdog groups, no one will no (Monsanto Act anyone?).
I just want my little crumb so I can hoard it in the corner. A crumb that I can pay for the things I want, enjoy life, and shrug at much of the nonsense (though I'll still pay too much attention, I am sure).
For better or worse, Wall Street has shrugged this office as a side show. As warped as that is, I'll have more faith in that than anything Washington does.
(yeah, I get carried away with the parentheses) :-)

this supposedly the print out of the regulations surrounding the passing of the health act. it varies from what i heard about in terms of pages. from 10K to 20k so far from different sources. 2.8 million words. I would like to confirm but I dont have time on this one. so if anyone has some ink and paper. hola back.

Actually if it continues the fed workers qualify for unemployment and when budget returns they get back pay by law, even after collecting unemployment.
However the WWF Show continues.
“It’s a cheap way to deal with the situation,” an angry Park Service ranger in Washington says of the harassment. “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”
