First I need to point out the quantity of ill informed Americans blindly following the extremist views preached to them by media figure heads such as Glenn Beck touting "Shut 'er down".
Has Glenn Beck and the like sat down and done the appropriate amount of research on the colossal side effects of this act? Do they not realize all the leaps and bounds that we have accomplished to start to overcome the recent economic recess. I am not touting that the Government made all the right decisions (Actually I disagree with most of them, money should have been spent on overhauling American transportation and communication infrastructure not bailing out failed business models) but we have just began crawling out of the economic turmoil and new jobs have been starting to surface. This "Shut 'er down" mentality will put us right back into the economic sink hole. Federal small business financing, Housing loans, Pell grants (which are what provides financial assistance to college students), Portions of the Health Department such as clinical trials and FDA approval, Military Death Benefits will be frozen, Military salaries will be frozen, paper tax filings (Do you not want to get your tax return?), and the list goes on...
The level of ill informed Americans throwing opinions around that they do not fully understand need to take a step back, shut their mouths and do some much needed research. The #1 problem through all of this is purely the faulty education, lack of research, and media figure heads abusing their power without fully understanding the issues even themselves!
Sure, say "Shut 'er down" one more time but understand when you say that you're looking at plunging America on the path to no longer being a world super power and a drastic change to our quality of life. Congratulations Tea Parties, you're almost to the point of destroying America through ignorance.
