Many people are talking about the latest rumor...the government shutting down. This is partially true. There have been many tweets saying that "The purge is coming!" This is a complete rumor. However, this government itself did shut down last night. This was due to the Republicans toward Obamacare. The Republicans and Democrats could not see eye to eye on a spending plan. They continued to fight over Obamacare. The Senate continues to reject Obamacare and other similar proposals. This is the first shutdown we have experienced since 1995 so it isn't surprising that people are buzzing about this. Although this shutdown will affect us in certain ways, it does not guarantee what is going to happen with Obamacare. This is a bit of a threat in the Healthcare fight but we can not be sure of exactly what is going to be the outcome yet. A common misconception is that people think there is no government right now. However, the only thing that this government shutdown is really affecting is the Healthcare fight and it may slow down certain processes that we depend on the government for such as loans and what not.
Politics do not usually appeal to me. I am not really interested too much in politics and Obamacare but I heard many people discussing "the government shutdown" and saw many people's tweets regarding the incident and I wanted to find out for myself what was really going on. We all know people talk and spread rumors, so I was interested to find out what this "government shutdown" was really about. Now that I've found some articles and done the research I have knowledge about Obamacare and how the Republicans and Democrats can not agree on the subject, causing this temporary shutdown. I am kind of anxious to see how this all pans out and to see how the public reacts to this.
