I don't agree with the shutdown, but Obamacare as it sits is a failure. I think it has the potential to be good, but there are some huge flaws right now.

VA disability benefits are not going to be paid until this is over. That part really sucks for me.

^that mega blows. I just saw they weren't paying survivor benefits either. I wonder if the retirement benefits are being paid.
They stopped the school benefits again.

Our government is fucked. The only way it's really impacted me so far is no fresh USDA crop reports...which I'm OK with since the private sector has plenty.

If only they stayed shut down and we didn't have to pay taxes

Wait, the GI Bill isn't paying out right now? What a bunch of tools.

No GI Bill
No death benefits for dead service members
No disability payments

But the slimeball politicians are all still getting paid.
