How The World Sees The Government Shutdown
But perhaps the harshest coverage came from the stolid BBC. In a piece titled "US shutdown has other nations confused and concerned," Anthony Zurcher wrote, "For most of the world, a government shutdown is very bad news - the result of revolution, invasion or disaster. Even in the middle of its ongoing civil war, the Syrian government has continued to pay its bills and workers' wages. That leaders of one of the most powerful nations on earth willingly provoked a crisis that suspends public services and decreases economic growth is astonishing to many…Now, as the latest shutdown crisis plays out, policymakers in other nations are left to ponder the worldwide impact of the impasse."
This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
