Curious to hear your thoughts about the 2013 shutdown which was basically the exact same situation but with the political parties reversed... was the Obama administration in the wrong in that case then?
As for the main topic, government shutdowns mean basically enough and the average person will not be impacted by it in any meaningful way. Most people do not care about this because it really does mean nothing to them.
If only we could get a permanent government shutdown then we would all be better off ... all governments do is waste money, oppress people, and kill people and they are in general very good at all 3.

I could be wrong but didn't the GOP control the house during Obama's 2nd term?

Democrat president and democrat majority senate, but republicans did control house at the time. Still nearly identical situation ... political grandstanding by opposition party to get their way even if it leads to government shutdown.
I was just pointing out to him that hypocrisy of putting all the blame on the republicans today when same thing happened 5 years ago. None of it means anything though like I said, US government is on autopilot and functions same even with a "shutdown".
