Just my two cents worth, but according to local TV
(5, CBS, most popular), in the Saginaw/Midland/Bay City area, the shut
down of government means:
Oh my God, the casinos and lottery will close, and
we might run out of liquor. Deer hunters might not get to test their
kill for T.B., and personal sales of vehicles might be delayed because
the Secretary of State would be closed. Car dealerships would not be
effected.
While these might be important things to some in
Mid-Michigan, is there really any wonder why we have gotten to this
point?
I truly wish we could fire each and every elected
official and start over. What an embarrassment to our state. They
should all be ashamed.

David, If this is off topic when it is grist for all Independents,
Democrats and Republicans, then what in the world is on topic?
Thanks for sending this classic.

we get to this point and where do we go from here? This diary
posting Anatomy of a
Catastrophe under the pseudonym Hazen Pingree (the dead governor) is a
good place to begin with the question, How did we get to this point?.
