It appears as through we face the happy situation of our federal government shutting down for a while because they can’t agree if we should have a $1.23 trillion deficit or only a $1.21 trillion deficit:
US President Barack Obama has said it would be “inexcusable” for lawmakers to fail to reach a budget that would fund the government to September.
Mr Obama spoke after he and Congressional leaders were unable to reach a budget deal on Tuesday.
Without a new budget, the US government will shut down on Friday.
Ironically if our federal government were to shutdown they couldn’t spend any money and the deficit problem would be a non-issue. I think it would be smart to lobby the “representatives” to support shutting down the government as a means to fix the deficit problem this country is facing.
