WALMART IS BAD

The focus of our class has been if Walmart is right for Weserville or not.  I don't think it is right for Weserville.  It will drastically change our small town for the worst.  I cannot say much because much of the information of my group is being kept confidential for the big debate tomorrow.  Our group will win the argument! We have some very strong points.

So it seems like the two main political parties the Republicans and the Democrats both have very different ideas on what they want to do.  The Republicans want to pass a six week debt ceiling increase, but this bill would not end our government shutdown.  The Republicans would really prefer to discuss a long term commitment but Democrat Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, says that they won't budge and the it's "not going to happen".  After Reid said that the White House made an official statement saying  "the president and the Senate Democrats will continue to pursue reasonable discussions about our budget challenges after these manufactured crises end."  This statement is basically implying the pointing of blame on the Republicans Party. These people in the House and Senate need to man up and become Bipartisan if they want to get anything accomplished.

Current Event First Week of October

I read an article about the government shutdown that is all politicians are talking about now.  After reading this article it seems that president Obama is trying to use the chaos of our country to his advantage in order to get his way.  The white house said that Obama would be happy to talk about the health care system and possible changes after the government reopens.  He also continues to encourage Congress to put a budget through and end the shutdown.  Obama and the Democratic party are going to need to be open to the idea of changes being made to the health care system in order for a budget to be passed anytime this year.
