The government is finally open for business again, but is it back to the way it's supposed to be? According to the Think Progress article Not Everything Is Back To Normal Now That The Shutdown Is Over by Bryce Covert and Alan Pyke, which was posted 10-17-13 (Thursday), informs us that countless companies and people have lost tons of money and are quite upset about it. I totally agree that the government made a poor choice of shutting down for a while. Then we're told that they're only open until January 15, due to Obama's signing of a bill that will fund the government until that time. What's the point in having a government when they're not doing their job correctly?
Is this information in the article true or false? I'd believe it to be true because the government has caused trouble for everyone. Companies can't have people work overtime because the companies don't have the money to allow that to happen. The government is at fault for all the money issues, companies struggling, and so on. Lajuanna Russell, a small business owner, says in the article, "We're going to be paid late for everything," and, "based on everything that I have heard, the work should still come to us." The article includes that the government could take up to six weeks or more to catch up on everything. To me, I think that's just ridiculous. You would think that they would at least put a lot of effort to getting "back in the game".
Even if the government is up and running again, doesn't mean that processes are running smoothly. Things are held up, or blocked, because the government needs to catch up to speed with everything. This article has the knowledge about the government not doing so well right now, but it's the truth and they need to do something about it. I believe the more open the government is to trying to fix things, the better everyone will get along. Thinking rationally about what should or should not happen is the basics of following order. Getting organized and playing along well with everyone is the best thing that we can do right now to get everything situated. It's not going to be easy though.
