It's incredibly stupid to close down the government just to make a point. It's nothing but pure politics. Yes, spending cuts need to be made, but it needs to be a phased program. Republicans will not get their cuts through the Senate, so what is the real point of this? Yes, people want a reduction in spending, but not at the expense of shutting down the government. Just foolish.

And by the way, the last time the government got shut down for 3 days when they couldn't pass the budget and would not extend the CRA, we got 3 days off from work and ended up getting paid for it anyway. Now that is wasteful. Pols ought to remember that federal workers vote too.
