Government Shutdown?
So, our federal government is threatening another shutdown, and if it does indeed happen, there will be some very real consequences this fall. So, my question is why there is a possible shutdown looming for our federal government (and what does that even mean?). There have been threatened shutdowns in the past; these have been averted at the last minute, so why should we think this will have a different result? What do you think is going to happen, and why? Lastly, overall, how does this type of behavior make you feel about our elected officials? Are you pleased with their resolute stances on issues, or are you disgusted with their inability to compromise?

I believe that the government officials shouldn't be able to shutdown the government and put people out of a job for a while because they can't resolve the problems that they are having with the budget. I also feel that other countries that we established or set up a democracy in, might feel that we don't necessarily know what we are doing because of what is happening with our government right now. Also, to shut down the government because the democrats and republicans can't come to an agreement is outrageous. Why should other people go without pay because other people can't get things figured out?
