Lesson From the US Shut Down

There are definitely room for reducing spending, especially in the reallocation of human resources to more productive area. One good example would be the support services around important people, do they really need to be served by so many? They are no different from Royal Family if you think about it ! The government is paying for all these even though they do not have a single cents in their pocket.   If they continue to do it their way and keep borrowing, how to repay 17 trillion dollar? Think about it, if they have a solution, the debt would have would have came down a couple of years back? Anyway, this will repeat itself again, till a workable solution is found, but it's going to get more difficult as the numbers climb.
