Three DUers been badly hurt, here are just three of several hurting DUers:

Demotex
a2liberal
grantcart

If the Teaterrorists follow the demands of Freedom Works today, and refuse to raise the debt ceiling on October 17th. the people who are sitting pretty now will not be. Some are already suffering, and here is one item in a list of more who will suffer then:

41. What will happen to veterans receiving compensation for service- or combat-related wounds and injuries? The Department of Veterans Affairs said if the shutdown continues into late October, it will run out of money for compensation and pension checks to more than 3.6 million veterans who rely on the money to support themselves.

Who will remember these threads with complaints about other DUers?

I don't think it will matter.
