A week after March 31st the federal government might partially shut down due to congress not being able to reach an agreement for a budget deal. Many federal employees are left with many questions on whether they will be needed in a week or not. Some employees on business trips also do not know if they will be able to get a flight home from out of the country if they are not essential to operations. This is extremely irresponsible of the executive branch of our federal government. If the federal government hasn’t planned for a reduction in employees due to lack of funding, what other problem’ could this lead to?
With the unrest in the Middle East and the start of a new military conflict in Libya the American people feel that every person necessary should still be employed so that problems are solved effectively and on schedule. The truth is that right and left wing politicians would rather argue for the sake of gaining party strength than working together for a common goal. American tax dollars a wasted senselessly on meetings of congress that a largely unresolved. In all honesty I am sick of our government wasting time and capital on ideological bickering. There is a way for people of all backgrounds and agendas to work in the same government and achieve common goals that would benefit American citizens in all socioeconomic classes.
If the government cannot reach an agreement serious measure need to be taken to insure that our government remains stable and reliable. It is a real shame Obama does not take a firmer grasp on the government he leads. After all he is the president and he does in fact have the power to make plans and decisions.
