The entire country will not starve because of a government shutdown.
What's real special is that this shutdown could be ended in an instant by giving one minor concession and one side really doesn't want to do it, for mostly symbolic reasons.
- beart 8y agoI honestly do not know which side you are referring to as your statement could apply to either and be true.

- feistypharit 8y agoThe problem is both sides will have to give a little. If anybody just caves it'll be political suicide for them.
