More people in central Florida are worried they will start to feel the impact of the government shutdown.

Some local military personnel have received letters that say their benefit checks will stop.

Many veterans said they depend on that money to pay for basic things, such as rent and food.

Just another stage in the continuing NIGHTMARE known as the "Obama administration."

No, it's the anal antics of Rethuglican buttplugs. This crowd of dim, dull delusional, mentally,morally and culturally bankrupt blivits (A blivit is ten pound of fresh horse turds in a five pound bag) Rank below the level of the epithet douche bag... They're in a category of "overflowing colostomy bag". Watching the internecine battle going on within the the factions within the Congressional Rethuglicans is like watching a feces fight at the monkey house at the zoo.

@ Pat

The blame for this big mess goes a LOT further than just the Obama administration. No insult intended, but to think otherwise is limited thinking in a complex situation.

Chris Hedges... in his recent article had a mouthful to say:

"The last days of empire are carnivals of folly. We are in the midst of our own, plunging forward as our leaders court willful economic and environmental self-destruction."

First of all, because MAINSTREAM MEDIA 'wants you to believe' it's the Republicans holding things back, ya'll need to INVESTIGATE Obamacare closely.

There are no breaks for 'the people.' Only for the administration and corporations. Your premiums (I've already heard from some) will triple and further, if you don't pay them, they'll take them 'right out of your bank account.. also...

The 'built-in laws with Obamacare will allow government to insist on RFID chips AND, you don't get to pick squat.

This is what the Republicans are doing - saving the people from Obamacare..

Obama is PUSHING it, because his bosses' are INSISTING on it. That way THEY WILL HAVE TOTAL control of the masses.

Until you REALLY want to know what's going on, then you have to

1) Stop BELIEVING Main Stream Media

2) Search alternative sites (more than one) for the TRUTH

Agenda 21 is almost complete for the One World Order to kick in. They only need to take your guns to keep you helpless.

They control your water, your food (Monsanto), your privacy, they have cameras 'everywhere', and they're killing humanity 'slowly' with Chemtrails, Fluoride and vaccines. They've equipped FEMA Concentration Camps for Martial Law, re-education camps for those who 'go against government' and they're just about ready.

It's time to wake up folks. They WANT you dependent on government.

Prepare and get ready.. Peace!

I agree with you. All have their own opinions about the working and non-workings of the government, but I can only say "to each his own." Obamacare is an insult to the people of our nation. It is a slap in the face to the elderly. I seriously believe that our nation indeed needs to WAKE UP.

A clean slate is needed, in that a complete ousting of all elective office seats, for some have glue on their ass, and elect new blood. People who have not been elected over and over having sat in office thirty or more years.
