You r probably right. I start to get needlessly worried...I break my own rule and start believing the press. I just cannot believe the Republicans would walk away with nothing. I have a family member and I dread the call, “so, they didn’t shut down Obamacare so what was the shutdown all about”?
When we get means testing for Medicare or an eradication of the medical device tax and/or one or more of a handful of other items you can tell your family member that it wouldn't have happened without the shutdown.
