Government shutdown reactions

"Ho-hum reaction to shutdown says it all", written by David Rothkopf, talks about the public (U.S citizens) reaction or non-reaction about the government shutdown. The author main concern is that everybody seems to not care about the issue. Not even the lobbyist or the business owners. He is credible because he has past experience and he questioned all types of people, from the regular person to the CEO of large companies. Assuming that either the public has lost its hope on the U.S government or just doesn't believe what congress says anymore. He believes that the reason why this government shutdown happened was because they officials are throwing a tantrum because they didn't get what they wanted.  Both parties have fault but aren't willing to compromise says David. Probably because they don't want to upset their political parties and ruin their chances on being re-elected. The author believes that the only way this can be resolve is by doing a major transformation on the U.S government. The author intended audience is all U.S citizens. I agree with the author’s opinion. The public is so fed up with congress that it those not concern us as much as it should. His claim is spot on and he backs it up with not being bias and not just interviewing one type of class. The public hasn’t protested or petitioned because of the lack of reasoning congress is doing. We don’t see a reason why it should be shut down in the first place. We understand that congress is just being immature and the problem won’t be fixed until they decided to compromise.
