As a resident of the state closest to Washington DC, as well as the state that houses a certain government agency starting with an N and ending with an S & A, we here have been hit pretty darn hard by this government shutdown. Quite honestly, I'm completely and utterly embarrassed by and outraged with my government. The United States Congress, the same body that was democratically elected by the people they're screwing over, are playing Russian Roulette with their constituents' lives. They're so focused on a law that's already been voted on, that they'd rather furlough over 800,000 people just because they didn't get their way.
They are acting like spoiled rotten 5 year olds that aren't being allowed to stay up past their bed time, and it's truly disgusting! What they need to do is apologize to the workers that have been affected by this shutdown and end it immediately. Anything less would be a slap in the face of good government workers who are in fact showing up and doing their jobs each day.
