There were only ten months in-between the shutdown and the election then. Not the year plus as of today. Back then, a year in which Clinton beat the pants off of Dole, the Republicans lost two House Seats and gained two Senate Seats. That shutdown meant nothing and had no effect what so ever on the 96 election.
This is the first time I have heard of that. I mean that the defunding rider was dropped. If the defunding rider is no more, then what riders are the Dems talking about? The defunding rider is the only one I know of.
First of all, the ACA is a Republican plan that Republicans now oppose. So thanks for making my point.
And, second, those of us who are not racists see what the Right is doing. They are setting Washington ablaze and then pointing at the Black guy while screaming, "He did it!"
They're balking at any delay of the individual mandate or more importantly, the removal of the 72% subsidy for Congress members and their staffs to enter the exchanges just as a regular citizen who are not covered by employer based health care will be required to do...
The "one year delay" rider.
The PA governor apologizing for comparing Homosexuals to Heterosexuals in a way only a pedophile-coverer can could have been his last nail.
Mid-term/Mid-terms will be spun feverishly in a few weeks.
And, will you be watching the Braves laster?
I blame both sides.......as the old saying goes....."it takes two to tango"
I would imagine as we get closer to oct 17 things will come to a head.
Delaying the individual mandate undermines the entire law.

This time, we/I/they have the internet to keep hope alive as well as what happened in 2010 when your base doesn't vote.

Q
Read the article cited in my post to which you responded. You need to.
A lot of those debt obligations go to folks like you, entitlement payments for SS and Medicare. Add to that pay to military and other federal employees, base operations, ongoing defense projects and other bills due for daily operations. You'll see how fast the money adds up, if you bother reading.
SS and Medicare are about a trillion dollars a year or 86 billion a month
VA is 124 billion a year or 10 billion a month
Debt service is 250 billion a year or 21 billion a month
Defense is 700 billion a year or about 60 billion a month
Total 177 billion and we collect about 2.6 trillion a year or 220 billion a month. No default necessary.

We spend $3.8 and collect $2.9. Obviously your calculations are in error. You didn't read the article. Did ya?
If Congress had issue with us spending a Trillion more dollars than we collect, they should have addressed that issue when the budget came up for a vote.
SS and Medicare are $1.5t. So...not only does he ignore half the budget, he can't even get the numbers he does include correct.
Good. Then think about this.Hmm, so much for the mainstream media to give you any details. I think if the one year delay is good enough for corporations, it ought to be the same for the individual. Now don't go get me thinking, I might say something like who is in bed with corporations over the people now.
It's good not being able to think.
in 2012 Medicare was 472 billion and SS was 773 for a total of 1.2 trillion or 100 billion a month.
2013: Medicare $550B; SS $882B for total $1.45T
That is 120 billion a month so what is your point? No default necessary
