Shutdown looms over ObamaCare

ObamaCare is at the center of a rapidly escalating fight that threatens to shut the government down this fall.

Senate Republicans, including two members of the leadership, are coalescing around a proposal to block any government funding resolution that includes money for the implementation of the 2010 Affordable Care Act.

But such a move is a nonstarter for President Obama and congressional Democrats. Republicans have tried this maneuver in Obama’s first term, only to back off later to the chagrin of Tea Party leaders.

A government shut down possibly by this fall?

Governmemt shut downs happened a lot in the late 1970s. 1977 had three government shut downs. There has not been once since 1995-1996. All of them happened between September to early January.

At least we'd know they aren't doing anything to hurt us.
