Government Shutdown



       The effects of this government shutdown will have more negative effects on the civilians than on the government itself. Tea Party Republicans disagreeing with the new "bill", which is actually a law, decided to throw a temper tantrum and bring us down, the People, along with them.
        Social psychology deals with the attitudes and social interactions among everyday people so I can safely say that if this shutdown goes on any further people who have welfare checks and food stamps (which is most Americans nowadays) will have trouble providing for themselves and their families. Some federal workers are also out of jobs at the moment and are contemplating what they must do to scourge up money. Say goodbye to any federal loans, as well, since those aren't being processed, either. Americans from all over are going to be going through tough times in this already tough economy. Low-income individuals are strongly affected by this as they now struggle even more to find a way to make ends meet. Stress and fear will be embedded into our new routine as we turn to face the unknown factors of a government shutdown. Hopefully, this sudden disaster will end soon rather than later.
