So, apparently it's just a Kabuki dance, all symbol and no real shutdown. The 13th U.S. Gov. shutdown since Carter, I heard! And yet somehow, darn it, it's still here.
The Dems will hyperventilate about how it's killing all these people (none of whom seem to notice that, however) and that's supposed to be all the GOP's fault, even though everyone knows the Dems shut it down.
The gov. isn't really shut down at all: business as usual. A few thousand stay home, nobody cares, they can get their garages cleaned up. The politicos don't dare REALLY shut it down: we'd make a new government, and none of them would be in it.
