It occurs to me that the only difference between the government being shut down and the government being open for business is that, in the case of the latter, national parks (what's left of them) are open and government employees get paid.
Here's some background from WaPo on the whole mess that is getting a spending bill passed. Note especially Rand Paul, who blocked the measure once in the Senate because of increases in federal spending ("The deficit is coming! The deficit is coming!"), although he was more than happy to vote for the tax bill that gave billions to the richest entities in the country while increasing the deficit by $1.5 trillion.
Like I said, the only difference. . . .
