Personal impact of government shutdown on DU.

[question everything]

4. It does not affect most Americans personally because this is not a real shut down

Delay flights, shut down the FAA, FDA, CDC. Stop Social Security, Disability and Food Stamps and then you will see citizens screaming bloody murder. No doubt, there are many among Cruz constituents who consider their food stamps and their disability checks their birth right. Stop them and then you will see how quickly we get the government operational again.

The teabaggers do want anarchy. They don't care about the consequences of shutting down the government. And the way it happens now, they may be proven right. You see? Nothing happens. We don't need a government. Not such a "bloated" one. But there are a lot more people depending on government programs, even if they do not realize that. Remember during the 2009 debate when someone demanded that his Medicare not be touched by the government?
