Would the Founding Fathers shake their heads? I guess it is rather candid but I believe they 'd be delighted at the idea to witness YET another generation of Americans aged today 12 to 29 or may be 10 to 27 to find out there is a life with non essential federal services shut down, a growth of Government I often wonder they'd be supportive of at least as long as the Constitution and America's security isn't endangered. Of course, the economy matters and a default wouldn't do any good to anybody but question the legitimacy of members of Congress taking seriously unfunded spending in non essential federal services only harm entirely the People's Congress, they deserve the credit to courageously stand for their principles and ideals that built this great country they today serve. In their decision to upheld the will to see Congress adopt a balance budget, they are the promise of a decent future and a healthy economy no matter how unpopular the view that the Government cannot successfully in the long term be a wealth redistributor be.
