what is the solution......?

     When hearing about this government shut down, I did not know what it was or why it was happening I just knew that it’s probably bad. Well I briefly researched what it was and the shutdown is due to the fact that congress cannot make a decision on the budget. I do not know much about all this political science, but what I do know is that many people are not involved in politics, why do I say this? Well for starters some people are well informed about politics and they know a lot about it but I’m sure it’s a small percent of people, but of other people some are not informed well at all, as you can tell from the video of Jimmy Kimmel. When I watch this I thought I was super funny. It made me think also do people just go with the flow…..like vote for Presidents and like or dislike laws or whatever that government decides to do…..without being well roundly informed. This video is a perfect example, everyone knows one thing or another about the Obama Care, whether it’s the pros of it or the cons, but the thing is people don’t fully know what It is, because if they did they would not be fooled….as you can see on the Jimmy Kimmel video, but yet the people think they know what they are talking about just because they are somewhat informed about the situation, many are quick to jump the gun and form an opinion without being fully informed, so when people are asked which is better the Obama care or the affordable care…you get stupid answers form people who think they know what the hell they are talking about……when in reality they down know much to support their opinion. How sad…….and this is the country we live in….is there a solution.


    For the solution all people need to inform themselves better so they actually know what they are talking about and form their opinions with more structure. As for the government shutdown I don’t think there is much the people can do…..sure people can protest, complain, write letters so congress can make a decision…..but I think people will not really protest because the government has made us comfortable too where we like our way of living, also at the same time we complain about what we do not like (for example when people complain about the Obama care), but in the end we settle for the flaws in our system....Ultimately the government (congress) has the last say in what goes down and the common people in the end lack representation in a congress filled with predominantly white, rich people.
