The U.S. Government Shut Down, because They Can't Figure Out Spending

This is great.  I live on meager earnings and can't figure out my spending, either.  I'm going to just shut down.  In the meantime, when people start asking me why I'm not paying rent or bills, and they consider my lack of tender for food "stealing", I'm just going to explain to them, "I am at an impasse between my earnings and what I need to spend, so I shut down.  It is the American way.  Monuments should be erected in my honor based on my patriotism."  USA!  USA!  USA!

One spending issue that congress faces is the inability to agree on the proposed Affordable Care Act.  For once, I think the American public can understand how congress feels, because we have no fucking idea what that shit is about either.  I have half a mind to call up my mom and tell her, "the homeless need homes and I think you should fund this."  Undoubtedly, she will ask, "why?  Who do you think I am?  I can't afford all that.  Divya, I thought you were quitting drinking for a while."  We will then reach a deadlock, because I won't explain myself and she will refuse to give the money.  Congress, you are confused and so the fuck are we.  I say we scrap the whole thing until the next fiscal term.

Now, on to more pressing questions.  Are government shut downs like snow days for congress?  Will they watch endless Charlie Brown movies while eating large bowls of cereal in their pajamas?
