Ghostly Ghastly Notion of Government Shutdown

The way some aspects of the economy have been turning out the last 2 or 3 years, has left a tantalizing image in our minds, that no patriotic American with pride in how strong our economy is, wants to actually say-- that is-- 'are we on the way to government shutdown'? One statement that can come up amongst the front-runners in rebut, is, why go all the way from all pistons running to the other extreme insofar as shutdown? Why not somewhere along the spectrum, as appropriate, reserving what is needed at different places in time, and more details-- In forthright and clear terms, why not continually properly timed accurate measures that correspond to what is required, plausibly foregoing any kind of shutdown at any degree?

Frightened to make the interjection of 'shutdown', here it is notwithstanding:

"WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama, showing growing impatience, said Tuesday it would be "inexcusable" for lawmakers to fail to fund the government through the end of the year and cause a shutdown.

"We are closer than we have ever been to an agreement. There is no reason why we should not get an agreement," Obama said following a White House meeting with congressional leaders.

Appearing before reporters at the White House, Obama said that House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid were to meet on Capitol Hill later Tuesday to continue negotiations. If that meeting does not produce an agreement, Obama said he would summon the pair back to the White House Wednesday.

"Myself, Joe Biden, my team — we are prepared to meet for as long as possible to get this resolved," Obama said.

Boehner, in a televised appearance right after Obama, said Republicans also want to avoid a government shutdown but also want to achieve the largest spending cuts that are possible. "We believe cutting spending will help us create jobs in America," he said.

...With the Friday deadline to avoid a shutdown approaching, the White House has begun advising government agencies on the proper steps in preparation for a shutdown of the government.

This blog entry is just getting started, and howbeit might end here, obviously there are more 'shockers' to come

My notes, for those to whom it applies, the pace has got to pick-up.
