the US government has started to shut down"



One problem with this is that after these shutdowns end, Congress (almost?) always passes a bill to pay all the Federal workers the salaries that they would have earned (but did not earn!) during that shutdown.   This means that they are essentially being given an unscheduled but paid vacation.  Ever wonder why they don't complain a lot?
