Just because some of you express apathy about other people's well-being because it doesn't affect YOU personally, doesn't make people who do consider, discuss and care about the potential impacts anything but engaged decent people. No amount of lame sarcasm changes that fact Biggie.
It's good that those yahoos in the congress knew better than to let it go it past the weekend. IIRC, those of us who weighed-in figured they'd approve a revised CR pretty quick because they wouldn't want to face the backlash stemming from another partisan political pissing match.
If they'd instead kept the government shutdown throughout the work week, it would not have been horrible for YOU obviously. But, considering they did not pass legislation to make sure military personnel got paid this time out, it could have been more than just an inconvenience for thousands of service people who have bills to pay and families to feed.
Even you should be able to understand that simple non-partisan concept and reasoning. However, just because you should be able to understand it clearly doesn't mean you do. Anyway, I'm glad you relieved yourself.
