Answer the four questions below, please write at least a paragraph (3-5 sentences):
REMINDER - Some of you are not writing enough here. A single sentence isn't enough. I expect you to expand upon your writing. If you think you have written enough, you haven't, write more. Be sure to answer WHY you think something.
1. It seems the government shut down is about to come to a close. Have you kept up with what is happening? Explain as best you can what you know about the past 11 days, tell me what has happened as the President and the Congress have been working through their difficulties. Maybe you have heard your parents talking about it, or maybe even in social studies class you have discussed it. Tell me what you know.
I have kept up with the shutdown but not very much. Obama signed a bill and few days ago that said military families would get death benefits. Also, they still haven't agreed on a decision for the cost but somebody sent Obama an offer for a negotiation. A lot of people are angry about the fact that they can't go to work and it's worsening the debt. Some congressmen still don't agree with each other in the Austin area. Also, people are upset that a few years ago Obama said that there wouldn't be a president that takes over health care, but he is the one that has.
