Coincidence or Correlation involving government shutdowns

[Mr.Darcy]

The Nixon shock happened in 1971 and America started experiencing government shutdowns afterward. People love to blame how political parties are causing congress to be inactive money spenders, but look at this debt ceiling chart. Regardless of whether congress is controlled by one party or split, the debt still rises in this country.
