This government shutdown is a boogieman created by the democrats. They want people to think the country and the economy will grind to an irreparable halt.

In reality, so-called "essential" spending will still go through. Basically, all that will happen if the gov gets shutdown is they'll close the national parks.

It’s a boogie man created by the dems but effectively scares the crap out of the establishment R’s. Like a bunch of pansies if a tiny spider shows up. I just want to shout from the rooftops; STFU when I hear either side bring it up as a bad thing.
