i can't believe the government has been taken over by skeletons

It's not Obama, it's congress And I am NO fan of Obama but Obamacare would have helped me a lot...

Being a social libertarian I can't take anything that goes through congress seriously without acknowledging that what I want to happen is probably not going to. I haven't been following the political scene nearly as closely as I was last year (I've pretty much just accepted that having valid and informed decisions does nothing to change anything, the American Dream is a crock of shit whipped up to keep the people gullible enough to believe it moving forward, etc) but when I was on top of my shit, I liked going to theweek.com for all of my news stuff. They're really unbiased (except for in opinion articles, but those are obviously trying to sell you on one side or the other's view) and I never see their non-opinion articles criticize or praise anything so much as give you the facts and let you make decisions based off of those. Also, factcheck.org use it for everything

What's going to happen? 800,000 federal employees have to go home. There’s no money to pay them, and coming to work on a volunteer basis gets into some tricky legal areas. While in the past they have successfully lobbied for back pay, there’s no guarantee of it with a divided congress. Air-traffic controllers will remain on duty. ATCs are government employees, but they are members of the 2-million odd employees that are marked as “essential”. They likely will not receive paychecks, however, until the shutdown ends. Airport delays. While the FAA’s security screeners are essential employees, many of the people who work to support them logistically are not. Visa applications and fees will continue to be processed, and foreign embassies and consulates remain open. So if you’re waiting on a visa application, don’t worry, it’s still in the works - though again, it’ll almost certainly be a slower process. Homeland Security and green card operations are included here, though DHS’ e-verify program - the thing that checks on the immigration status of job applicants - will no longer operate. NASA will furlough most of its employees. Essential mission control operations and employees will continue, but the vast majority of NASA employees are going home - and I do mean home, because NASA’s on-site housing for employees is being shut down. The military stops receiving paychecks. While the million and a half members of the US Armed Services stay on duty, they won’t get paid until after the shutdown. The postal service continues as normal. The federal court system stops. According to The Guardian, the federal courts would operate as normal for about 10 days before they have to start sending people home. The NIH screeches to a halt. That includes accepting new patients for clinical research, as well as answering medical questions on their hotline. The CDC will stop its seasonal flu program. According to the Washington Post, it will also have “a significantly reduced capacity to respond to outbreak investigations.” HUD will no longer be able to provide local housing authorities with vouchers. So if you live in government-subsidized housing, your status is very much up in the air. Parks and museums will close. Yosemite, Alcatraz, Yellowstone, the Smithsonian, the Library of Congress, the Statue of Liberty, and about 400 other locations will close - though interestingly, the Southern Rim of the Grand Canyon will remain open, because the state of Arizona is picking up the bill. The EPA will shut down. The only thing that stays open at the EPA during a government shutdown is its operations around Superfund sites. OSHA will shut down. Social Security will be partially defunded. Social Security, as an entitlement, will remain open enough to keep the checks going out, but will lose enough staff that they won’t be able to schedule new hearings. VA Benefits will be cut. VA hospitals remain open, but that’s about it - and if the shutdown lasts longer than a few weeks, the Department of Veterans Affairs has said that it might not have enough money to pay disability claims and pensions. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but hopefully it gives everyone a pretty good idea of what we’re going to be looking at over the next few days, weeks, or (god forbid) months.

Hey man sorry to put you on blast but one of our rules on both the server and the forum is "No chatspeak", which basically means that if it's only one word you need to spell it out. eg "u"="you", correct spelling to the best of your abilities, etc.
