Today starts the government shutdown as a result of the impasse between the White House and Congress over the contents of the continuing resolution on federal funding. The media is beginning to gnash their teeth and wear sack cloth over this event. I'm however looking forward to a number of deserving things that I hope happen as a result of this fiscal hiatus:
- Stopping all bribes to the President of Afghanistan, Karzai
- Closing the Congressional Country Club
- Ceasing all government grants to favored eco-companies
- Stop sending arms to the radical Syrian rebels
- Eliminating Pelosi's weekly private flights to/from California
- Eschewing future White House galas
- Stopping NSA's Internet snooping
- Closing the IRS's Cincinnati office
- Stop recharging EBT cards
- Ceasing Eric Holder's gun-running purchases
- Curtailing of the Obama's extravagant family vacations
- Shuttering the Congressional barber shop
- Stopping all government bank bailouts
- Closing all Obamacare federal healthcare insurance exchanges
And I'm sure there are many other worthwhile possibilities ...
I agree with a lot of the items on your list. Furthermore, I predict that this shutdown - if allowed to go on for more than a few hours - will bite the GOP in the ass when voters clean republicans out of the House of Cards in 2014, paving the way for yet another Democrat president in 2016.
