Who's to Blame?


  

      I skimmed through the New York Times, when an editorial article caught my attention. “John Boehner’s Shutdown, the author/s of this editorial makes a compelling argument against the humanistic kinks in the government system. With all the chaos going on with the government shutting down, the author clearly points the finger at one Republican in particular, John Boehner, Speaker of the House. The author states, “ Had he put on the floor a simple temporary spending resolution… without the outrageous demands to delay or defund the healthcare reform law, it could have easily passed …” The author then gives further evidence against John, proving his lack of sympathy for those who would be really affected more. He waited until the last minute demanding an immediate conference meeting with the Senate. The Senate has been demanding a conference for six months for the 2014 budget with the House. What an insult! The author continues, “For Mr. Boehner to call for a conference near midnight was the height of hypocrisy.” John Boehner obviously does not take this government shutdown serious or he would have acted a lot sooner.
      This article will evoke emotion with all voting citizens of the world. It is the author’s cry to voters to make a change. The targeting group that would be affected more are older and the financially deprived citizens.  The younger crowd should also take heed.
      The journalists of the editorial panel are all well groomed and well educated. They have a broad array of expertise so their credibility is very persuasive. I am convinced. This is why I will continue to exercise my right to vote.
