How Long Will The Government Shutdown Last?

[Ptarmigan]

In your opinion, how long will the government shutdown last for?

[Chris_]

Needs a poll. 

21-30 days because Harry Reid is a selfish asshole and won't lift a finger unless Obama tells him to.

Not long enough.

[FlaGator]

I couldn't care one way or another.

Let us hope forever. 

We will find we can live without the "nonessential" services and can cut 1/3+ of the Federal Government.

Let the Smithsonian charge admission and self-fund like so many other museums do.  Other than that, the rest we can do without completely.

[Dori]

The longer the better.  Fund the military and the border security and lock the rest of the store up.

Oh, and good riddance.

Should be called Government Slimdown.

I agree with all of these responses.

I especially like "We will find we can live without the "nonessential" services and can cut 1/3+ of the Federal Government." If non-essentials are furloughed, then their positions must be non-essential.
