WHO IS NOT TO BLAME FOR THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN ?.............

Amid all the finger pointing accompanying the current Government Shutdown and the encroaching Debt Ceiling deadline and threat of  Default, come October 17th, the essential component undergoing egregious road kill by the inaction of the leaders of the Federal Government, is the viability of open, honest, active, and ongoing, Communication; that if not unconditional, is as objective as it can be for compromise and a consensus to reaching agreement that greatest serves the common good of all our Citizens, rather than just inordinate and select special interests.  It is imperative in this polarized and dysfunctional political and governmental environment in the USA, that  President Obama, Speaker Boehner, Majority Leader Reid, Budget Committee Chairs Ryan and Murray, and the Leadership Teams in both Chambers of Congress act  decisively and collectively above and beyond the unbridled, self serving politics and prerogatives of parties and persons who are out to further themselves, and not necessarily the best interests, integrity, faith and full credit, of this, "One Nation Under God", that as an example to the World must be dedicated to civility, democracy, mutuality, and dialogue.............tdp
