I keep hearing over and over a lie..

here is the facts..

7. What happened with the spending bill over the weekend?

The Republican-dominated House passed two spending bill amendments Sunday morning -- one that would delay Obamacare for a year and one that would repeal the Obamacare's medical device tax. The bill went back to the Senate, where Democrats who control that chamber have consistently said any changes to Obamacare would be a deal-killer.

8. What happened Monday?

The Senate rejected the latest House proposal, prompting the House to approve another spending plan that would remove the Obamacare individual mandate for a year. The Senate rejected that, too, setting the stage for a shutdown.

9. What happened overnight?

House members voted to reaffirm the anti-Obamacare amendments that Senate Democrats have said would be a deal-breaker. They also requested a conference with the Senate to work out their differences.

10. What will happen Tuesday?

The Senate will reconvene and will likely make a decision on the House's offer to talk. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said late Monday night that he wouldn't agree to such a meeting until the House presents a clean spending bill stripped of the amendments.

four separate reasonable offers to compromise, before the shut down..

ALL rejected by the democrats.. who will not even agree to talk..

so now we have a shutdown.. not really.. just a president throwing a tantrum..

fact
12. How many government workers could be furloughed?

Most of the 3.3 million government workers are deemed "essential" -- they'll keep working. But more than 800,000 government employees will sit at home, according to a CNN analysis.

an additional 400,000 defense workers were called back to work..

so out of 3.3 million workers,.. 2.9 million are still working.. . but they are making sure you know they are short handed.

President Obama’s approval rating has plummeted to 37 percent, and his disapproval rating has skyrocketed to 53 percent.

More polling data shows that compared to the 1995 shutdown, Americans are much more split on who to blame this time around. In 1995

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich wrote that he was “just plain surprised” by the results of that poll and that it “almost shocked me.”

“When I saw the poll was due to be released, I expected the Republicans to be taking a beating considering the terms President Barack Obama and his staff have been using to describe them over the past 10 days (‘extremists,’ ‘people with a bomb strapped to their chest’) and the unfair, derogatory press coverage of their position,” Gingrich wrote in an op-ed published on Tuesday. “The results are so dramatically better for Republicans and worse for the Democrats and Obama than I expected that I was curious to see just how much better Republicans are faring during the shutdown of 2013 (and how much worse the president and the Democrats are faring) than in comparable polls of the 1995-96 shutdowns.”

in 95 we had an internet, but not as much information or access.. so the media dominated the talking points..

now they are worse,.. but facts and FOX are showing more people the truth.
