#1 That is of no concern for the GM on the phone with Union Reps all day. Nor the actual President who screwed them anyway with his 5th grade model of a system - Lego Graft Station I think.

#3 Not sure how this squares with the continued funding of the "Affordable Care Act" or $300m to assist Detroit, or anything else that is still being funded for that matter.

Perhaps in the sinister government calculus, child mortality numbers would be offset by the closure or partial reduction in 'little people' terminations at Planned Parenthood Centers. Hence the apparent lack of concern by Dems and the Champ.

#6 Well, the sequester wasn't as bad as they'd hoped, so they have to go into overdrive to make this hurt.

#7 Not sure how this squares with the continued funding of the "Affordable Care Act"

The ACA has nothing to do with caring for sick people. That's how.

#9 [Al Ahram] The US government shutdown could block...

From Al Ahram? I thought the title smelled like something you would see Islamic radicals do (hide behind women and children). Now we know why the left loves children so much, gives them something to hide behind.
