Shrewd's your north star in markets gone wild,
Laugh off Mr. Market as fools beguiled.
Know your limits, stay cool, don't bend,
Build riches slow - Shrewdness wins the end!

Albaby has opined that the minority party generally gets the blame.

Not the minority party, necessarily. The party that insists that they be given some substantive win in exchange for funding the government. The shutdowns during Bill Clinton's terms, for example, were blamed on the GOP.

The party that is saying "We won't vote to fund the government unless we get X" has historically been the one that gets blamed, versus the party that supports a continuation of then-current spending levels.
