Okay, so because the idiocy of how our federal government functions (or doesn't sometimes), most of the time I just tune it out like I do my 3 year old. The whole shutdown/debt ceiling deal has popped up on my radar recently because it impacts my brother directly and because I'm worried about the impact on the financial markets and my nest egg. But now, this whole mess is front and center because for the first time it directly impacts me.
You see, I was heading out to our beautiful local single track mountain bike system over the weekend. It is some of the best in the Midwest and I hadn't been out for 6 weeks since I injured myself in Colorado. I went to the ICORR website (they maintain the trails) and saw the trails were closed. I assumed it was for a day of trail maintenance but I thought I would check to confirm. Well come to find out because the trails are on federal land operated by the US Army Corps of Engineers, it is closed indefinitely due to the shutdown.
Now I'm really pissed at Obama. And the other democrats. And the republicans. And the tea party. You are a bunch of selfish idiots. Every single one of you. Serving our country, that's what our military heroes do. You just make a mess of everything and bicker like little children.
Its a really good thing we are getting overpriced and diluted healthcare thanks to the stupendous political invention of Obamacare, because my weight is going up. Adult onset diabetes, here I come. Thank you federal government, you've officially ruined my health and made me pay more for it at the same time. In service to others, that's our federal government!
