Not sure we didn't hear we were deprived more things with the Sequester than we have with the shutdown. Well, maybe not, but, though there is a lot of pain, consider that everything considered non-essential has been shutdown, and is it so awfully terrible?
As for the pain we do have, I wish we as a people would jump in to help meet the points of pain. If we would do this, this government shutdown could prove a decent little experiment, showing we can survive without much of the government spending.
Instead of standing around whining and bickering, it would be neat to see the nation -- the people -- lift themselves up. Oh, and instead of complaining about the ineptitude of the politicians, it would be neat if we saw this as the opportunity it is. It is a golden chance to prove so much government is not needed. But we will not make that point unless we step in the void and do the things the government can't do due to being closed. And, it is an opportunity to serve others. People unemployed? I think it would be neat if private employers stepped in and offered the furloughed government workers temporary (or permanent) jobs.
Stop your whining, bickering and fault-finding, America, and get to work.
