Absolutely it does bring about change. The next time there is a threat of a shutdown the president will have more leverage. Kudos to obama for setting a precedence.

1) Yes, I said that I would not have a problem with being deprived of wages while military families get paid. Nothing that I said above contradicted that. You still have no idea how much hardship that would or would not bring to me.

But you failed to understand my point so let me put things differently: I am a government worker. You are not. So don't lecture me on the life of a government worker. Shall I lecture you on what it is like to live in Seattle?

2) No, a short-term solution does not bring about long-term structural change. Only long-term solutions do. This point is not difficult to grasp.

It is not as hard to admit that you are wrong as you make it out to be.
