While it will suck for the government workers who have to take furlough, although they usually get all the pay back anyway, and the groups that will not get paid, for the vast majority of people, this is a non issue. It's FAKE news perpetuated by BOTH sides to act like our government actually shuts down, and our country will implode. And then they act like continuing resolutions for a few weeks are the answer. I say, no Sir, that is not an answer. Go do a budget for the whole year. Don't stop working till its' done. And if you cannot, like you have for years now, you should be fired. All of them. Republicans and Democrats. Bunch of lying two faced cons spreading lies and upsetting a public that really doesn't understand that the government doesn't actually shut down.
