I personally believe that a federal government shutdown would've been a good thing. Federal government shutdown is a bit of a misnomer to begin with. Barely 1/3 of the federal employees (nonessential) would have been furloughed. Passing thought: if they are nonessential what the hell did we hire them for? Even with a temporary total federal government shutdown, we would still have the state and local governments operating. The private sector would continue operating and life would go on.
Two reasons why I think a shutdown would've been good are as follows: 1. They couldn't spend anymore of our damn money. 2. Citizens, if not for news reports, might not have noticed they were close.
