Frankly, IMO there is too much hype and fear about this in the news. Someone always seems to try to use fear to sell their idea. The last shut-down 17 years ago really was more of a glitch than a disaster.
That's a good point. I was in high school at the time, but I don't recall anything drastic seeming out of place.
More than the sequester though, I worry about our having to (again) raise the debt ceiling and what that could do. While I realize it's likely a different topic, it dovetails with this one.
I wonder if FDIC makes any difference when we're so many trillions in debt? Where are they going to magically come up with enough money to cover several hundred thousand (millions?) of accounts?
