    Did they waste all my money?

    Please keep the one National Park in Northern MN open – I need to launch my boat there a couple times in June.

    Other than that, shut down…I won’t miss it.

    I would prefer to be “off the grid”

    The whole is thing is out of control They are not there representing the people, they are just behaving like litle children, one group against another. I think both parties should be abolished and people voted in who will represent the people and not their little ‘group’.

    Shut down averted! Commence wasteful spending!

    Our forefathers did an excellent job setting up a non secular government with 3 branches and checks and balances. I just wish they could have had the fore site to see how the government could uncontrollably grow and how special interests, not citizens interests, could rule politics of the day.

    I wish there was a US colony somewhere being oppressed so I could go there, join a revolution and then set up a government like we have now, only better. Tweaked to fix some of the problems with what we have today.

    Very happy the shut down was averted. It would have caused way to many issues.

    Putting all the politic’s aside, for once they did accomplish something.

    The hard fought cuts are yet to come. That’s when the real battle lines will be drawn.

    I also realize some really do not care but one should as it’s our money being wasted.

    If we as citizens do not care, who will??

    Actually, they did, future generations choose to ignore their warnings, and also others…
