Could it be, perhaps, because most people know the warnings are lies and hype, and that if the government shut down, it really wouldn’t impact anyone too much?
Imported surfboards...amazing. There is something very very sick in the USA. Environment rules ruining a little surfing biz. SICK!

Why should the people of California care whether their budget deficit is 14 billion or 400 billion when the people they elect to solve these problems only talk of one solution, raise taxes? Arnold and the Dems must know that raising taxes will not solve anything or restore any sort of public trust in government.
People get blase’ to the constant forced panic of government going broke and the everyday call that “vital govt. services” will be cut in their blackmail scheme to get the voters on board with parting with more of their money so people like their governator can waste it on another “green” initiative or some such other nonsense. If all you hear is the harpy’s call, eventually you tune it out.
More taxes = less money in people’s pockets to spend = less spending = less business = less jobs = less taxpayers = more public burden for healthcare/food stamps etc = bigger deficit which somehow equals the need to raise taxes.
When it all falls apart, the same people still won't understand why. They'll just point their blame at someone else and hate them.
Ignorance leads to superstition. Economics is no different than any other subject.
“In retrospect, lighting the match was a mistake. But I was only trying to retrieve my tax refund.”
By and large the only part of the government most people want to keep functioning is the mail. So a government shut down that won’t stop the mail isn’t something we really care about.
State government is always crying poor, so people are just tuning it out.
Stop supporting illegals and the budget problem will be solved.
