This would be the same Federal government that shuts down everytime a couple of inches of snow falls in Washington DC … yea …I am really concerned, especially since many have a 4 day holiday weekend since the President granted Christmas Eve as a “day off” for nonessential employees. Nobody beyond the Capital bubble really sweats a federal government shut down.
