Hey DUmmie FarLeftFist, not that Gingrich picked wisely in that previous fight, but the last shutdown had no effect on the world economy, the military got paid through the shutdown, and all the executive branch employees idled by the Congressional inaction did get paid for the time (To actually fire or furlough/lay off people without pay, there is a minimum legal notice period, and a legislative-executive deadlock is never going to last long enough to bridge that minimum).
In other words, you are an idiot.
