New Poll

The results of the current poll in which we asked whether it would be "business as usual" in Washington, DC, or non-essential personnel would be told to stay home starting October 2, 2013?

• Business as usual: 28%
• Non-essential workers will be told to stay home: 72%

I would have been in the "business-as-usual" camp. I am impressed with the 72% predicting this.

So, time for a new poll, in which we will poll: the US government shut-down is:

• a) a BIG deal,
• b) NOT a BIG deal

Yes, it's very subjective and one can interpret it many, many ways. But, however you "see" the shutdown, do you think it's that big a deal or not?
