While I’m sure there will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the statists out there, the last time this happened, I didn’t really note any problems in my life. Neither did any of the folks I ever asked.
A Federal “shut down” hardly is what the name implies, as such “necessary” activities such as law enforcement, national defense and the like continue on. Perhaps we could get a list of the activities that are curtailed by this shut down business, and since they aren’t “necessary”, shut them down permanently?
Just thinkin’ out loud here.
