But just for our pleasure, let's imagine that all government in the US really shut down ... which it will in the coming years as the US dollar collapses.
So, I think I was a little disappointed when the clock struck 12 AM and life continued on. Yet, I'm also happy that we're still not living a dystopia (YET). This shutdown is really just absurd because, as I understand it, these heads of state are still getting paid regardless. I wonder when we'll truly see a TRUE shutdown of government in America. |

Then all these continuing resolutions would just go away. Make them show us what they are spending our money on. The Constitution says they have to pass a budget, but Harry Reid hasn't even let one on the floor of the senate for 5 years! Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
