United States – Government Shut Down And Republic Action

October 5, 2013

By Padmini Arhant

Recently President Barack Obama had direct assurance from House Speaker John Boehner regarding House Representatives votes on Syria.

However, the transformation with the impasse on government shut down is paradoxical where the two leaderships apparently unable to reconcile differences despite the consequences on the average citizens as federal employees and the public at large.

Reiterating the fact that unlawful warfare, unnecessary military and monetary aid to nuclear state Israel and Egypt, Jordan…on Israel’s behalf, sponsoring terrorism and Wall Street bailout almost never has any impediments with the legislative and executive branch working together in perfect harmony to deliver the special interest and AIPAC demands on United States Congress.

The current stalemate involving suspension of government services using health care and raising the debt ceiling as bargaining chips is evidently counterproductive considering the negative impact on economy and employment situation.

The political showdown is unnecessary and elected officials committed to national service as required by the constitutional oath would not block government functions as mechanism to impose their agenda.

Neither the health care nor debt ceiling could be implemented in prolonging the government closure.  These two issues merit transparency and discussions to allay legitimate concerns among citizens as financiers of the entire national budget.

The fiscal conservatism on spending cuts targeting lifeline programs and services such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, education and environment could be shifted to wasteful expenditure and redundant activities such as the government shut down arguably increasing economic liabilities and exacerbating citizens suffering.

Again, the government fiscal policy aimed at stifling essential consumer oriented growth combined with the Federal Reserve monetary policy on partial to total withdrawal of quantitative easing i.e. interjection of cash flow into the economy @ interest rates between 0 – ¼ percent with impending debt elevation deserves congressional debate and national review. 

Besides, the Federal Reserve is yet to account on previously missing $9 trillions and the latest $16 trillion in secret bailout of foreign banks using United States tax dollars while the urgency on extending borrowing limit via debt ceiling  lingering as the national crises.

None of this would be possible with the ongoing political standoff.

American citizens rising to the occasion exercising republic power by calling on the representatives to resume work is the preliminary step towards restoring democracy and economic recovery.

Peace to all! 

Thank you.
