The pay for Veterans and their widows ends late of Oct. The Veterans medical care may end then too. Some of those veterans and widows don't have anything else on which to live. The Tea Party Republicans have been bragging since they gerrymandered control of the house that they were going to shut the government down. Americans don't like the shut down by 72%. The 25% are celebrating like drunken sailors, just like their representatives in Congress. What was their goal. Was it to put thousands of Americans out of work? They did that. Is it to waste more tax money? They are doing that 50 million to 100 million a day, and it gets higher with every day. The Republicans want to end Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Education, and Veterans Benefits. Are you for that? If not, why are you voting Republican? I had a Tea Party person tell me the government was not my nanny. Do you think these programs are nanny programs or necessary programs to take care of our citizens? Do you benefit from any of them? What would you do without them?
It is time to think about this, because the Tea Party has launched a serious assault on these programs, and they think they are winning. They don't realize that the Republicans rating is 65% negative on social media {Reputation.com} All they hear is the echo chamber of Conservative news, and that includes small town newspapers and many local news stations. These people do not realize the Republicans are attacking these programs, which many of them use. We must get them educated.
What will the Tea Party do when they destroy the government that they hate so much? These people are unreasonable, and uninformed. They say they are patriotic and they love their country, Do you agree? I don't. I think their actions border on treason. If they are going to end the federal government which is what they want, what do they plan to do after that? These things take a lot of thought from intelligent people, and the Tea Party has not thought their actions through to the end. No plans have been presented. It is just like their desire to destroy the ACA, with no plan for the uninsured to replace it. It is also like their attack on birth control, with no thought to the tons of children who will be born into families who cannot afford to feed them. How does any of this improve this nation?
