Saturday News Bit: Did you know that there have been 25 government shut-downs since 1978? Do you care?  Of course not. It is not a big deal at all. 
But this shut-down looms over the fact that our govt has not been working within  a budget for over 5 years. Now we all know what happens when you don't have a budget. YOU OVERSPEND and you raise your credit limit till your credit card company shuts you down. At least that's what your govt has been doing since Obama was elected. So to make it simple; all military paychecks will go out, all s.s. checks will go out. Food stamps will go out, welfare checks will go out. It's just the fact that the government will not get "mo money" and will have to cut back on some non-essential spending and be forced to pass a budget. Don't fall for the scare tactics.
