Opinions on the U.S. federal government shutdown

Many people here in the CD fora know 'someone' on the inside. They aren't out there somewhere, they are here among us and they won't give an inch regarding the clues. It's very cool. - JaneYoung [more]

Opinions on the U.S. federal government shutdown

How do you feel about the United States' federal government operating at drastically reduced capacity (being "shut down")?

What are the immediate and long-term effects¹ that you expect to feel, and will they be ultimately be beneficial or harmful to the country?

¹Immediate effects are the ones that have already begun to impact you, or which will occur after established milestone dates like the Department of the Treasury's October 17^th debt default estimate. Long-term effects are the ones that will be seen in a timeframe of months to years, and include things like political consequences in the next federal election.
