Is there something wrong with this picture? I don't think so.

The recovery is happening. There is still unemployed and underemployed.

No more cuts and the US Post Office needs to be re-established to deliver mail. 

Republicans are as wrong as they can be if they don't listen to the recommendations of President Obama. They are as wrong as they can be if they shut down the government to accumulate some kind of savings in a demonstration of power. There is nothing like a government that causes pay losses to the very citizens the government relies on to do it's business. Every hour an employee does not earn income they lose retirement funds in their 401 Retirement Accounts. 

That is about as underhanded and a dirty trick as it comes from a Republican Party that wants to promote private investment accounts for retirement. 

If the Republicans don't like the results of the cuts so far, they need to deal it and stop bellyaching.

President Obama and the Democrats are getting it done. Today is the third bill regarding gun control that was voted out of committee in the Senate. The Democrats are conducting the country's business. The Republicans can't get past their own lack of moral content to satisfy their money donors. The Republican Party serves very few citizens in the USA.

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama (click here) made a plea to Republican senators in their private meeting Thursday to ease up on their filibusters of his nominees, but he appears to have gotten a cool reception.
"The president made the pitch that it would be useful to his administration if nominees were more quickly confirmed," said Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) after the president spent more than an hour chatting with the GOP caucus as part of his "charm offensive."
But it seems that Republicans will not relent on bogging down nominees, and also do not agree they are obstructing Obama's picks....
This is the answer to governing by the Senate Republicans. In three months there has been 28 legislative days in the USA Congress.

113th Congress 1st Session (click here)

People are dropping like flies in gun violence in the USA and there are only 28 legislative days in the last two and a half months. That is both houses.

This is the House Schedule.
