At midnight tonight in the United States, the government will shut down. That means government workers will go without a paycheck until Congress can devise a plan to keep things running again. People who hate government like to be in government, which doesn’t make sense.

There is plenty of blame to go around however, that is not something I want to get into here. I just want to say that the government does many things from defense to road construction and more. People need to get paid for their work so they can pay their mortgage/rent, food, medicine, and other expenses. That should be the focus right now.

Let’s hope that whatever the shutdown looks like it won’t last for too long. People should matter more here and then take care of the things that make life a little easier when we all pitch in to make it happen.
