October 2nd-Random Thoughts on the Shutdown

Rune of the Day: 


Dagaz is a rune of success and transformation.  Today is a day to look at things from a new perspective and be open to changing them based on what you see.  You might be surprised how much you really have when you look at it from someone else's point of view!

Just because its my blog and I get to vent on it!

Really, what is our Congress thinking-Oh wait! They're politicians, they don't think; apparently,  they just have temper tantrums. 

The current shutdown of the government so reminds me of 5-year olds at play.  If you don't put down that toy, and play with what I want, I'm going to break ALL your toys.  Same principle, just on a larger scale.  

As a side note to the Republicans, who obviously don't think the health of the citizens of this country is worth concerning themselves with.  Does the fact that the exchanges that opened on October 1st were overwhelmed with demand from people seeking affordable insurance mean anything to you?  Probably not, if what the people wanted mattered, the government wouldn't be shut down in the first place. 

I really have to wonder who didn't think ahead on this: the last time they delayed raising the debt ceiling, the credit rating of our country went down just because the people that decide those things worried about the lack of cooperation in our government.  I can't wait to see what this partial shutdown, and the inevitable refusal to raise the debt ceiling on October 17th  will do to that credit rating.  It may soon end up worse than mine!

Tarot Card of the Day:

 The 8 of Pentacles is a card of hard work and personal effort.  Try to learn something new today, even if its just a new word!  Or, combine this with Dagaz, the rune of the day, and try to learn something new about yourself today: maybe a dream you've always been afraid to dream, or a fear you've never put into words.
