U.S. Gov. Stages Shutdown Extravaganza, Meanwhile Money is Actually Flowing

In a world where up is down, left is right and in is out, you can never believe what your government tells you anymore.

WASHINGTON, DC – OCTOBER 5: House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) arrives to Capitol Hill as the federal government shut down goes in to its fifth day on October 5, 2013 in Washington, DC. The House will vote today on the measure to restore back pay to federal employees who have been furloughed during the shutdown before recessing until Monday. The vote is expected to pass with bipartisan support. (Photo by Chris Maddaloni/Getty Images)

WASHINGTON — It’s sad to say that nearly everything you have been told on the boob-tube (i.e. T.V.) about the “government shutdown” is an outright lie. In fact, the U.S. Government didn’t shutdown too much of anything and now the figureheads have passes legislation unanimously in the House that would provide payment of all back-wages to furloughed government employees._[1]
So what is all the “shutdown” hype about?
Likely all of this is a grand spectacle to gain approval for a failed Obamacare program. The current administration loves using strong-arm tactics to get what they want, lying to the American people all of the way to the bank. According to the actual Oct. 2, daily U.S. Treasury Statement_[2], quite a bit of action has taken place since the beginning of the new fiscal year. In fact, CNSNews.com reported, “The Treasury also sold $1.648 billion in new Treasury securities–which is government debt.
Among the things, the federal government spent money on during the “partial government shutdown” was $1.129 billion in salaries for federal employees.
To put things in perspective, in the first two days of fiscal 2013 (Oct. 1-Oct. 2, 2012), when there was not a “shutdown,” the federal government spent $124.409 billion, collected $29.057 billion in taxes, paid out $2.542 billion in federal salaries and sold $100.91 billion in new Treasury securities (or government debt).”_[3] 
This comes as a major slap in the face to most Americans whom have trusted in their omnipotent leader for years now to turn the country’s economy around. However, many are beginning to see the writing on the wall as the Obama Administration has looted and thrown monies into the pockets of corporations and bankers worldwide. There is literally no cap or anyway to stop what might come next.
Obama has already passed more Executive Orders and has spent or given away more U.S. funds than any other President in U.S. history, making him the all-time robber-baron of current U.S. history. The once great empire we call America is now bankrupt and left to die a slow death amidst a failing infrastructure.
