Federal campgrounds and picnic areas have shut down across Idaho, the AP reports, due to the government shutdown forced by Congress' inability to pass a spending bill by a midnight deadline to keep the government functioning. Court cases are slowing down, 850 Idaho National Guard employees are being furloughed and banned from reporting for duty until the shutdown is lifted, and 16 of the 19 workers at Craters of the Moon National Monument -- where a search is under way for a missing hiker -- were put on furlough today. Meanwhile, 42,500 pregnant women, infants and children stand to lose supplemental nutrition benefits as the WIC program runs out of money; it has enough carry-over fund to last only about a week/AP via Eye on Boise.

Question: Is there too little pain (in Idaho) to be concerned?
