Not about Education either

On December 2^nd 2014, it finally looks like the government is actually trying to avoid a government shut down! As some might know, on December 11^th 2014 the government will officially run out of money unless the Congress does something about it. And last year nothing was taken care of and the government shut down for about half of October. And it took such a long time for the government to get it together because both Democratic and Republican parties struggled to agree on the spending budget. Republican’s attempt to defund or limit Obamacare is what caused the whole dilemma. The Grand Old Party took the blame for the shutdown and it had a negative impact on the Republican Party as a whole.

            And so this year, the GOP is trying something different. Instead of challenging Obama’s newly pronounced immigration reform right now, they’re going to wait until next year. An unexpected action taken by Texas’s favorite party.

"I think they understand that it's going to be difficult to take meaningful action as long as we got Democrat control of the Senate," Boehner said (CNN). This choice might have been influenced by the fact that the Republican Party is about to retake full control of Congress in about a decade.

I think that recently it feels as though our government administration has not been listening to the people. When the Republican Party refused to budge last year with its demands, I lost faith in their capability to help guide this country. If they had just conceded, even just momentarily, then the government could have avoided such an event and people would not have been temporarily out of work. Now I have the impression that they’re working for the people (or just trying to get back into Congress majority), but either way it feels like a good change. As a ‘Young Outsider” it’s pretty hard to put much faith in the government or federal entities. I don’t have any particular qualms with either or any party; I’m only concerned when public is negatively affected by its trepidation or ineptitude. If the government, any party or affiliation, works toward the people, it’ll get back on track and towards a more trustworthy future.
