Personally I would not. I wonder how many days we would have to shut it down to save 100 Billion :Whistle

My wife asked me what a goverment shutdown would mean to us. I told her less traffic FTW.
Federal workers don't go in as early as we do, but they do leave to go home about the same time we do so my ride home should be quicker.

Feds 24/7, work 24 hours a week and 7 days a month.

Just think of the savings. Nobody to spend money.

Not totally. A woman I know works as a buyer for the federal goverment. She was informed this week that she is supposed to keep on buying while the goverment is shut down.
When 25% of the GDP is goverment based, those checks need to keep going out.

We quit doing work for the FED many years ago do to their poor pay habits. So small contractors with current contracts are going to have a problem.

Would you miss air, would you miss water? Would you miss electricity? Would you miss roads? You wanna go back to being cavemen or something? You'd be dead in 5 minutes Conifer?

Whata a utterly stupid question.

Don't anyone ever ask me why I left the board again..Questions like this and people taking them seriously in their responses is the answer.

The membership is too stupid. EVEN FOR ME! and I can barely spell words

THATS IT!

Wow, the goverment provides air and water now? I know they are overreaching at times but I didn't think they have anything to do with my spring water.
So what happens in failed states like Mexico and Somalia? The Mexicans flee across the US border just to breathe air.
