Hello Everybody,   
      
   What Republicans call a government shutdown -   
      
   "Not really a shutdown, more of a slowdown."   
   - U.S. Senator Marco Rubio   
      
   "A partial temporary suspension of non-essential government functions."   
   - U.S. Senator Ted Cruz   
      
   "Very excited" and "People will be very grateful."
