US govt shuts down for 1st time in 17 years as budget talks fail
The US federal government is partially shutting down after the Congress failed to fund its work amid a Republican drive to defund the Obamacare healthcare program.

A group of Republicans in the House just forced a government shutdown over Obamacare instead of passing a real budget. — Barack Obama (@BarackObama) October 1, 2013 The partial shutdown will leave some essential government functions, including national security and public safety, intact.

Take some lessons from Canada eh.
They've shut down their government 106 times already, and twice in just five years - Only in Canada, you say? Pity!

Glad to see this government shutting down we don't need them we can control ourselves a few people from each state and we'll be better off without these crooks. Around 3/4's of our states already signed petitions and got the required signatures to be on their own before.

Well the Homeland Security Police are still working, a black Suburban and 2 officers in their black tactical gear were at the light rail station this morning, first time since the semester started.

Update on Homeland Security police, This morning I saw them at another station, and like the last time I saw them 2 weeks ago, there were both uniformed and plain clothes officers (at least that is what I assume the people in street clothes with typical student type backpacks who got into a sedan with government plates that was parked in what is normally a no parking area with the HSP black SUVs, and they were right with the uniformed officers and waited for them to be ready before all the vehicles left at once), could be a coincidence, but I doubt it.
