What Government Shutdown?
Asking me to take a side with the democrats and republicans in the current ‘government shutdown’ issue is a bit like asking me if I want to pass a law to shoot my mother to death or stab my mother to death. I don’t want my mother shot or stabbed. I don’t want her dead. both options suck and are unacceptable. I will admit that when I first hear talk of a government shutdown I get a warm fuzzy feeling. I begin to imagine the end to funding murder across the globe, prison cells being opened to set the victims of the state free and no more armed state agents paroling the highway. If only it were that good. The reality is that any of those wonderful sounding things were a part of a government shut down I would be all over this stuff promoting a shutdown. The reality is that this shutdown is anything but anarchy. It’s more of a middle class layoff.
