''The craziness going on with the government''

1. http://www.chron.com/news/politics/article/Obama-to-Boehner-No-talks-until-government-opens-4877268.php?cmpid=hpbn



2. Category of problem: Government
3. Level of problem: National
4. The article concerns: That they will not reopening the government without talking about it. Also each side does not seem to be ready to change their mind.
5. Why is this important to families/individuals OR how does it affect individuals/families?
 The government has been shut down for a week now.  It affects families or individual that gets government assistant program like WIC and food stamp. Will not been receiving it with the government do not reopening soon.
6. What are your views on the issue/policy?
It is crazy because you have the president telling the Speaker of the House that he will not negotiate over reopening the government or must- pass legislation to prevent a U.S. default on its obligations.  How come you want to do what is best for the people who voted you into the position that you are in now. While some of the senate like Majority Leader Harry Reid is only willing to negotiate about the budget if the government fund and lifted the debt ceiling while the republicans seem to want not to do that. I think they need to start thinking about the people of American that they have going through this craziness because each party are too minded about what they want and does not really want to compromise to me. The House wants to make up with bipartisan so they can pay the federal workers on time. To me it is great that they want to pay federal workers on time because nobody is wants to work and not get pay for it no matter how much they love their jobs.  So what about the national parks and the poor people who depend on government assistant?   What the people who are really suffering because we have a government where the people in charge cannot make up their mind and with that it is really affecting their life in a really bad way. Also the Defense Department cannot send out check to  service member who family member is killed to do a funeral because they do not have the authority. It is because of those brave men and women willing to service their country that we have peace in this country.
