Reply To: Government shutdown?

To be honest, I’m not surprised that something like a government shutdown is being used as another scare tactic to get people to move to Israel. Believe me, I’ve heard ’em all.

It is so true that our country’s government is incredibly flawed, but to suddenly switch to “making aliyah is the only solution” talk is even more flawed. Seriously, the federal government that *just became inactive* (like, hello?) will control every aspect of our lives? Oh my gosh and golly goodness! I’m soooo afraid! :O

Now that I understand what’s actually happening, I think the only people who should be worrying are those people who’ve been working with/for the government.

People of the Coffee Room, if any of you would like to take yungermanS’s advice and move to Israel now, I wish you much hatzlacha dealing with its *socialist* (YES, SOCIALIST,) government.

PS. How many times has the Israeli government experienced some form of shutdown or another due to protests? Please excuse me while I go to the fridge to put some more jam on my cottage cheese.

PPS. I guess I’ll have to call up my mother and tell her I don’t want to work for the CIA anymore. I just learned the pay can get pretty bad.

PPPS. For all of those people who will now jump at the chance to call me a hater, I am in full support of there being a Jewish state, but I am also a realistic thinker. Not even Israel’s government is perfect, and I’m not afraid to remind people that they might be grasping at straws.
