A Book to be Considered

The first government shutdown occurred in 1976 during the Ford Administration.

 

In the 37 years since there have been 17 other shutdowns including the current one. It took 200 hundred years before Congress began using government shutdown as a tool and now it is common practice and for most of us, they go unnoticed. The Stock Market doesn't care either. 

 

A book worth everyone's time is:

"Religious belief can guide one in life or strengthen one at the approach of death, but unless it is true it can do neither of these things and so would amount to no more than an illusionary exercise in comforting fantasy."
