USA Today reported that 59% of nondefense federal workers will head to their offices to work, which is a far cry from the liberal mainstream media and Democrat’s cry of a complete government shutdown.
41% of workers will report to work then be told they’re on furlough (i.e. sent home early), national parks are closed, passport and visa offices will be delayed along with gun permits. Some bankruptcy court proceedings will be slowed down in addition to mortgage application approvals.
The Democrat-majority Senate rejected several last-ditch efforts by the House GOP to prevent a shutdown by defunding ObamaCare, which is one of the most unpopular laws on the books. But, Harry Reid and Obama said they will not negotiate or compromise when Americans want them to.
But, thankfully, the military will be paid as a last-ditch effort of Republicans to push this effort to Barack Obama, who approved it.
It’s almost business as usual in Washington, D.C.

ReplyDeleteIf we can keep this mf'er shut down until Nov 1, I think DJ 16k is a real possibility.
This may serve as a lesson not to elect unworthy officials next time.
ReplyDeleteThe radio station I listen to announced that the shutdown would affect "parks, monuments, and even zoos!" That's it? What a joke. If EBT transactions still clear, it ain't a shutdown.
ReplyDeleteYawn.
