[quote=Anonymous]As a government contractor directly affected, I agree with you. I wish that SNAP and Social Security payments would stop, passport processing would stop, etc. We need a country-wide outcry and heightened pressure on Congress, but you're correct when you say this won't happen without the majority of Americans experiencing real suffering. Such a drastic measure might be unfair but so is reducing federal workers, who have bills to pay and families to care for, to pawns in a partisan game. Even sadder is that the Tea Party continues to use red herrings such as the WW2 Memorial to stir up vitriol toward the Obama administration and deflect from the real issues of the looming debt ceiling and the very serious implications of even a partial shutdown. It's become a completely embarassing blame game. The rest of the world is laughing at us. [/quote]
