Explain it to me

[LauraMoser]

This whole government shutdown. Why is it happening? How is it happening? How will it affect me?

I admit, I do not pay attention to the news a whole lot. Then I hear some big thing like government shutdown and scramble to catch up, lol. I really start watching John Stewart and Stephen Colbert again. At least I have some idea of what's going on when I watch them on a regular basis! lol

It's the topic of every headline at the moment with articles of how it affects people and why.

Lol! I promise I don't hate reading. I guess I just rely on ML too much for information on current events.

Thanks for the link. I'll go check it out.
