I have no way to substantiate that feeling, I don't know what that "something" is, I'm not even going to say that this feeling is correct, and will even dismiss it as just paranoia because I can give no rational argument for it because it's just a bad feeling. However, I do find myself wishing that "it", whatever "it" is, would just happen already so we can get it over with.

If our country wasn't so polarized, our government wasn't so dysfunctional, and we weren't already so far in the hole, I would probably care if it shut down, as it is, i find myself lacking any concern. We are so far in debt already, the costs of a shutdown is probably but a drop in the bucket.
Aside from that, I don't think the people running our government are capable of any real solutions. They'll just kick the can down the road, same as always, and the deficit will continue to grow.
