The whole shutdown is a material expression of the partitioning that is taking place in the ruling class at this time. They agree that concessions won by the working class, past reforms, and even basic civil rights must continue to be chipped away at (more evidence as to why capitalism does not and cannot work). What they don't agree on is how to achieve this - a summary execution (conservatives) or death by a thousand small cuts (liberals) - pun intended. But the piper must be paid. It is pretty self evident that capitalism is no longer sustainable, the dam is springing a new leak almost everyday, and they are running out of fingers and toes to fill the ever increasing gaps. Whichever route the sworn defenders of private capital take, the collapse of the system under the weight of its own contradictions is unavoidable.
Congresses 10% approval rating is quite telling, since that is about the % of the population (top end of course) they represent give or take.
