Obama: U.S. economy cannot afford shutdown

In the recent rumors of a total government shutdown, House Speaker John Boehner discusses alternatives to cut spending. Should the White House shutdown, it could possibly save America 33 billion dollars. However, there is a lot of political debate, as to, whether or not it is a good decision. The alternative plan is to keep government running, and cut major spending in government operations. In essence, it would cut spending through a long period of time, by passing bills. To an extent this seems reasonable, but in my opinion, we should do both.
