that congress is shirking it's responsibility to the people and refusing to pay the nation's debts. The ACA has nothing to do with the countries debt or bills. They are basing this over ideology and not a policy.

There is no debate as the people did speak, accepting the ACA as law, the SCOTUS approved it as constitutional and re-electing Obama who ran on it.

The teahadists have nothing to stand on legitimately! I don't see how they can come back from this and not self-destructing from it.

We need to take advantage of this, come 2014 and work hard to get a democratic house!!
