While reading this very short no frills narrative please put yourself in the shoes of little eight year old Chrissy Grube, an innocent non political child who now finds that the government of the United States, because of political in fighting has forced the closure of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), a body that approves experimental drugs that could have been little Chrissy Grubes last shot for survival.
Chrissy was diagnosed with Giant Axonal Neuropathy (GAN) just over four years ago, there is at this moment in time, no cure for this disease, a disease that has already robbed her of the ability to walk and makes things like breathing, going to the toilet or going to school a tremendous ordeal. No drug would reverse the damage already done for poor Chrissy, but there may be a new drug that can halt the progression of the disease but because the American shutdown has shut down the NIH they cannot approve the new drug that would probbally have been the last shot at survival for little little Chrissy. In essence elected polictians condemning a poor girl while they sit in Washington sucking on their expensive wines and foods.
As I said at the beginning of this narrative it would have no frills and would be short, I just need to make a point and show my disgust with all sides of the American political landscape. Please pass this on and register your own disgust the children to the left are our future they are not the palythings in Political Brinkmenship
