[quote=Anonymous]I know those impacted directly by the shut down or the sequestration are feeling the pain but for the vast majority or Americans I don't think it has made any difference. For example, if Social Security checks were suspended, there would be a huge outcry. But the shut down that has affected government jobs impacts only a limited segment of the population. It is analogous to major lay-offs in a company: those affected would be hurt and one feels sorry for them but for the majority of people it has little or no impact. Speaking for myself and my family it has not mattered one bit. I am wondering if the relatively muted reaction of Americans is because they are not impacted by it. Sure the opinion polls show that Americans want Congress and the president to work together to resolve the issues but that is rather like talking about motherhood and apple pie. [/quote]
