shutdown schmutdown......it isn't real...

The US government doesn't actually shut down. So some of the oversized dung beetles don't get fed for a couple weeks...

I see no harm in it at all.

They wanted to be government employees so let them show that they are there because they love their country and not just for the paycheck.

A little austerity is good for them and while we're at it before they reconvene and open the place up again making congress subject to Obamacare should be a premise too.

I can't help but wonder why liberals are so hysterical about a government shutdown. I believe they're either afraid for Americans to see that life will go on without government having full control of our lives for a short period, are so dependent on government that they question their well-being in such a shutdown, or..... ?

They say it cost's money to shut down....

You know what I think? I think we save money when we shut down.
I think that shut down looks an awful lot like shrinking government and I think
Shrinking government is anathema to the democrats and even to some republicans.

BINGO. I'd say you nailed it.

I would rather there not be a shutdown. That said, the sky will not fall if one occurs. In my opinion.

This'll be shutdown #18, if it happens. And STILL, we're alive!!!
