As many of you all know, the United States government was shutdown because the Republicans and Democrats could not agree on an idea created by Obama, called Obamacare. Obamacare was declared constitutional, yet most Republicans were not fans of it. Because of this massive disagreement, Republicans demanded that the government shall be shutdown until they got what they wanted. This government closing was no easy decision. People (except Congress) who worked for the federal government were forced to take off from work. Federally-owned national landmarks had to shutdown immediately. What about people that planned vacation trips to visit Yellowstone National Park, for example, and were not permitted to go because the government was closed? What about all of those people who had to leave work because of a silly argument? In these cases, money is being spent and wasted. This was not fair. I fell like there were other ways to solve this problem, but shutting the government down would have never come to my mind. Thank god that the government is officially back open for business now, but that was not a fun time for America.
