First, all Government Spending ends on september 30. And that literally means if therethere is not a compromise reached, the entire federal government would shut down. A place like this that means like every civilian job like Tinker Air Force base, it means the district has four veteran centers your they wouldnt be open. Veterans hospital closed down.

In President Obamas first Midterm Election, he lost six senate seats including in the deep blue state of massachusett massachus
