Shut 'er down!

Listening to Mark Levin the other night when both Reps and dems failed to support a bill to cut about $2 billion from the federal government. Apparently the dems, like drunks on a spree, want to spend until OUR pockets are empty. The Reps didn't seem to think the cuts were enough.

In the words of Mark Levin: "JUST CUT!!'

Now professional stooge and, apparently, some-time rodeo clown Nero Reid stands up in front of the Senate and delivers this truly, profoundly blockheaded plea to preserve federal funding of the Cowboy Poetry Festival. Nero claims the festival brings joy to "tens of thousands" of people.

Only the federal government could hold an event for tens of thousands of people and FAIL to figure out some way to get the attendees to pay for it. Anyone with even a fractional brain could profit on something like this. How 'bout $5.00 a carload, or truckload, or tractorload, Nero, sound good? Totally affordable, when people pay $70.00 a seat to see even second-rate pop stars.

Nero is a blockhead. But we already knew that.

Another question: if the congress doesn't extend the federal budget for another two weeks or so, the feds will shut down. However, "essential services," like Social Security and Medicare payments, and military operations, will continue. Apparently it's only "non-essential services" that will be shut down.

So the $13 TRILLION question is: Why do we continue to pay for "non-essential services?"

By definition, these are secondary services, stuff that no one really needs.

So, hey, go ahead, Shut 'er down!

Just think of how much money we'd save every day with no federal government riding our backs. Let's keep it shut down $13 TRILLION worth. How's that? Let's get rid of this deficit.

And the thing is, no one would really miss it, except we might all experience the ecstasy of a "new birth of freedom." Small business would flourish. We'll all be so much better off. A shut-down would bring joy to not just tens of thousands, but to hundreds of millions of people. And it won't cost a cent.

So, yeah, SHUT 'ER DOWN!

Save the Republic.
