Non-essential services stopped. I can't help it that our government feels kids with cancer and imminent danger pay are not "essential" things. Makes ya wonder what they do consider essential.
A massive terrorist attack wouldn't affect 99% of the country, either. This is a hurt completely of the GOP's making. They're doing this because they want to. As for "makes ya wonder", why wonder, when you can actually just look it up?
Why look it up when you can just blindly follow whatever political ideology you found palatable? Saves all that troublesome critical thinking and such.
