So I'm sure that most of you have heard that the government might shut down for a while. The first part that is strange to me is the services that they are choosing to keep running. Some of them, like the CIA and military, do make sense to keep running but I heard that the IRS is going to keep running. That doesn't make any sense to me what so ever. They are almost completely useless even when they are getting paid. The reason is bugs me is that the military is expected to keep working even though they aren't getting paid and may not ever get the back pay they deserve. I think that if Congress is going to let this happen, then they shouldn't get paid either. Its a load of crap. If they are willing to let government services go without getting paid, then they shouldn't either.

The worst part is that it is not just one party that is causing the problem. Both Republicans and Democrats are causing these parties. It seems to me that they are trying to do it on purpose to see just how much they can annoy the rest of the population. Neither side will back down on anything and they are just letting this happen. I figure our best bet to solve this problem is for all of us to go to D.C. and sit around outside the Congress until they come out. Then we make it clear to them that if they don't solve this within the next week, then they all lose their jobs and we solve the problem for them. There are enough smart people in the country that we should be able to figure it out.

I heard recently that Japan got hit by another earthquake. The first thing I gotta say is when are they going to catch a break. Stuff just keeps happening to them for no reason. I hope that they get a break soon. They have lots of problems on top of the earthquake.
