I don't personally think  a shutdown is as bad as the media and others are making it out to be, but neither is it necessarily a good thing. The shutdown onlymeans certain agencies of the federal government (some of which are not very significant for your everyday lives unless you work in that department such as the National Park Service). But one thing is for sure and Mallace is right, we will be in the deep if nothing gets passed by the 17th, what should be passedis where I vary in opinion.

Bush also has nothing todowith this asmuch as he did nothelpthe economy,Obama made it worse than Bush though if you ask me.(17 Trillion in the hole)
