Why we llike shutdowns

Republican leaders balked at Democratic requests for spending on non-defense government programs, warning that the two parties are still far apart on a deal to avert a government shutdown and lift the debt ceiling. 
 The request came at a meeting Wednesday that included Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney and acting White House budget chief Russ Vought.

Republicans are known for blown huge losses with military spending and starting expensive, catastrophic wars.  Democrats are no better.  Voters need to quit freaking about federal shutdowns and take them in stride as part of government.   My advice, shit it down and we are all better off.
