The "shutdown" would only happen if either the Senate couldn't pass the budget when they get it it (or it gets tangled up in conference) or the bill hit the President's desk and he vetoed it. Either way it's on the Dems if that happens. The House has already passed the budget.
Just like Wisconsin, the Dem's are willing to compromise to pass the budget. The Republicans are unwilling, hell refusing! to compromise at all. Just like our very own Gov. Binks who told the state Senate leader: "Just pass it".
Too many people now are beginning to see the errors of the past election cycle. They will not listen to the Republican/Teabagger excuses as to why the government shut down.
Especially the old folks dependent on their Social Security. The shit will hit the fan when their checks don't show up.
