    Why do we keep doing this? This is embarrassing for our country and shows the rest of the world how incompetent our own government has become.

    Every 6 months the government almost shuts down unless one political party or the other refuses to pass some horrible legislation while holding the other hostage.

      one political party or the other

      Let’s be honest: It’s only one side that holds the country hostage to try to force through their unpopular agenda…

      If the US didn’t have the military we have our credit would have been downgraded even further. Hell if Europe didn’t need our military production right now, we’d probably lose credit rating. The entirety of sustained US international revalance is hinged on the fact that that we can kill anyone better than they can kill us.
