This weekend, unless a deal is reached, there could be a federal government shutdown.
NBC News has a story about possible residual effects of a shutdown that makes a great unintentional point:
NBC News (@NBCNews) ~ The federal government does an almost unfathomable number of things, so a shutdown would likely affect everyday Americans more than they realize.

"Government does an almost unfathomable number of things."
Thanks for that, NBC:

Yes it is!
Every now and then the mainstream media makes a good point, though this certainly wasn't the takeaway NBC News had in mind.
