The government shutdown

It seems like the federal workers will go unpaid if indeed the government shutdown occurs. Not the postal services.

The Democrats are saying that the Tea Party radicals are shouting government shutdown and the Republicans are quite ready for it. The Republicans are trying to make political points instead of trying to solve the financial problems, they claim.

The Republicans are saying that Democrats do not agree on their budgets and that the nation is on the verge of a financial break down.

According to USA Today, Gallup Polls show "41% of Americans said President Obama and Democrats were doing a better job trying to reach a deal; 34% said Republicans were trying harder.".
