eh, a shutdown won't be that bad.. just listen to Presidential hopeful Huckabee..
It's not like it will be 'draconian' or anything..
former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee thinks that the government will eventually have to shut down but it won’t be that bad this time around.
“It’s a very different environment this time, he told CBS Tuesday. “I think first of all, a lot of the things that were shut down were automated –like Social Security checks and Veterans checks — so it’s not going to be as draconian, if it does happen.”
“I think it could happen. And maybe it has to,” he explained. “Because sometime, either now or later, the government’s going to shut down, either from bankruptcy in the future, or from a targeted effect to try to get someone’s attention that we’re overspending and not managing at all.”

maybe it has to.... from a targeted effect.. sounds like that's the plan..
the biggest question I have is, will we actually see Bachman,Palin,Hannity,Rush,Demint and the Tea party cheering and happy tweeting? or do they know enough to keep that kind of thing under wraps?
