At any rate, I see it as another vacation for politicians would rather take off then actually do their jobs. It becomes telling over the course of time.

This is our government folks.

The longer the government stays closed the less can be accomplished. Lets go for the record! All they do is mess things up anyway.

Basically a list of when competing parties caused a government shut down, for how long, and who was in charge. No real conclusion to be drawn except that our government can demonstrate exceptional incompetence across the board.
