I often wondered what would happen if the government suddenly shut down, what would happen? Does the President have to go home, does that mean the White House can’t be used?
Do we recall all the troops, or do they have to shoot only on alternate days?
If we don’t have money, how would we give all the illegal immigrants their benefits, do we take up a national collection?
What happens to those congressmen on fact-finding missions, do they get stranded in Hawaii and Puerto Rico?
Do we salute the flag, or do we just wave back?
What happens to Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day? My God, would we be able to celebrate Martin Luther King Day, not to mention President’s day? (I said NOT to mention it, since we already watered it down)
Who would spend the money we don’t have, who would tell Congress they can’t contribute because the national debt will have to stay the same until we can compromise on spending more than we have?
It gets pretty scary all right, no money to spend on things we can’t afford, thus creating problems for a deficit we have built over the years! This would in turn bring us where we were all the while, in dept debt!

Back in the early days of the country the government was highly responsive to the wishes of the people because everything was smaller and more managable. We have added so many functions to government in our era that it has become like some kind of Rube Goldberg contraption gone horribly wrong. We need to strip it down to its essential functions and go back to people being more responsible for themselves and the poor life choices they make.
WAIT A MINUTE. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO WAS EXPECTING A TRIBUTE TO MOTHER'S DAY?
