in past shutdowns, the govt. workers weren't hurt alt all. They received the pay they should have lost, retroactively. No loss. Just a small, paid vacation.

And, I didn't even know the govt. was shutdown. Didn't feel any effects of it.

The last shutdown cost the debt to rise 11 billion. We really can’t afford to keep going or shutdown.
