The Kids Always Get Stuck in the Middle

Here is what just struck me about the government shutdown; it no longer matters who is write or who is wrong, who "wins" and who "loses," which party gets to claim a victory!!  This thing has to end because the people that are getting hurt are not the folks with money that can still pay the rent, or more accurately mortgage (s), it is our President, living rent free in a fairly nice house, and some of the nations Republican representatives that also live in fairly nice digs, both when they are in DC and when they are home, and their constituents taxes are paying for most of that.

I know too many people now that are no longer getting paid, are having to find jobs to pay the rent, or buy food, or pay for school, or all of the above and more because the government has hung out a gone fishing sign.

I am also not so stupid about all of this that I don't realize that there will be people who suffer from whatever compromise, or changes, that may have to be made to "Obamacare," but is there not a medium term solution that will fill the government bus back up so at least our country does have a "close for business" sign on the door anymore!!

It just seems like a very messy separation/divorce, and the kids are stuck in the middle and are therefore the ones that are suffering the most, and frankly the parents in this situation do not care and are being the most childish!!

Thank you again for getting this far with me!!
