Sixteen thoughts on an averted shutdown

Curious of what people think about Matt Yglesias's takes.

As an aside, I find the reflexive Anti-Matt Y takes to be pretty obnoxious. I definitely do not always agree with him, but he makes good faith arguments about what he thinks. It's not like the Conservative commentators who just make shit up all day long. He's not right all the time, but he's not full of shit.
