GO AHEAD; SHUT IT DOWN

With a more than an hour to go at post time, the Senate and House are both dug in on the budget and ObamaCare.  At this point, the odds of a government shutdown are high. 

COMMENTS:

There could be a short-term Continuing Resolution, say a few days, to keep the government open.  But, I would just as soon they shut down and resolve the damned thing for the rest of the fiscal year so we don’t have to have these pissy games any more. Enough is enough, and I've had my fill. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:

Q. Do you think the Israelis will do a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities?  Have things changed at all?  (Rex ~ Hanford, CA)
A. I think they have no choice.  Evidence is that Iran is extremely close to having a nuke and they are in the process of moving more of their nuclear facilities into hardened underground caves.  Obama has made it clear that he does not want to do a preemptive strike and seems compelled to enter into talks with Iran which can only lead to more time wasted.  Netanyahu would be a fool to believe any assurances Obama might offer. 

Q. Just what is the story about members of Congress and their staffers getting exempted from ObamaCare?  I hear varying stories.  (Gustine ~ Pendleton, OR)
A. They are being forced off of their cushy government provided insurance and onto state exchanges.  However, they will be entitled to be covered for abortions and they will receive substantial subsidies at taxpayer expense.    

Q. October 1st is the date for people to start signing up for ObamaCare.  We have until January 1st.  I figure I’m not going to sign up until December 31st, just in protest.  Besides, I simply don’t have the money and am afraid of getting my hours cut.  Is that a good idea?  (Myrna ~ Fairfax, CA)
A. Yes, absolutely.   They’re not going to give you interest for signing up and paying early.
