Throughout the so-called shutdown (unnoticed by hardworking Americans), Americans were exposed, day in and day out, to asphyxiating agitprop. The Taliban-like tea-party caucus, they were told, was criminally negligent for refusing to allow the government to keep borrowing.
Damned they were as “aging, white bigots” for daring to demand changes to a despised law, at the expense of the temporary furlough of 800,000 non-essential oink-sector workers, whose salaries are, on average, double that of the average wage in the country and whose hefty health-care and bankrupting retirement benefits the rest of the country can only dream of, but must pay for.
