This article is about the economy crashing a bit because of the government shutdown. The article gave specific details that showed that not only are we losing a lot of money, but people are getting frustrated with how our democracy is today.

The problem is presented to people that use their highways because they are in more danger than any other state.

  1. Hey Nathan,
    I like how you created an opportunity to talk about the problem in your first post. The government shutting down effects everyone and I think choosing that topic was a great choice. Some people usually just scroll through articles and stuff but this is a story that relates to everyone and most people will pay attention. Overall you it looks like you put a lot of effort into this post. Great Work Man
