These pretty much sum up my feelings on this. The only thing I'd add is that I hope nobody ends up shutting down the government over anything again no matter what party they belong to. To most people that didn't mean much, but it happened several times while I was in the military. To me, that meant I didn't get paid that month. Soldiers have to pay rent and bills, too. Sometimes congress just takes things too far.
