  • A historic shutdown is nearly over. It leaves no winners and much frustration

    From apnews.com

    The longest government shutdown in history could conclude as soon as today, Day 43, with almost no one happy with the final result. Democrats didn’t get the heath insurance provisions they demanded added to the spending deal. And Republicans, who control the levers of power in Washington, didn’t escape blame, according to polls and some state and local elections that went poorly for them.

Taking from poor to give to super rich ( by reducing their fair share of taxes)

How can this make any country great?

This cant even make these short-sighted rich fools great more over the country.

The less consumers have the less they can spend. These billionaires (if they are sensible) should be seeking to pump more funds into the econonomy so people can keep good health while having more to spend!

More shallow thinkers and media warped minds spreading their disappointment and acting like the last administration did anything but use their four years to make a massive hit and run on Americans. It would be great if any could actually read a few statistics. Maybe most here are heavily invested in big insurance?
