You know shutdowns cost money and disrupt millions of lives, right? We don't save any money here. At best we'll break even like we did in the last shutdown.
What we SHOULD do is pass the damn continuing resolution and go into conference committee NOW to solve the rest of the budget when the CR ends in December.
Democrats won't, and shouldn't, give any portion of Obamacare. If Republicans want to repeal it, they need to win in both Houses and the presidency, like the Democrats did before they passed it. Enough with governing by hostage taking and blackmail. The country chose Obamacare when they re-elected Obama, two more Democratic senators, and cast a million more votes for Democratic house candidates. It's law, and until Republicans win any election it will remain law.

28 days, actually. But yeah, I've never heard of a shutdown doing much to hurt the economy in the long run. The stock market seems to think so, though. God, my stocks are going to TANK tomorrow....:(
