Since the stalled Federal Budget talks have resulted in a “Government Shutdown”, such that many national parks are closed and the ATC system is experiencing difficulties….

Is there still security at the Capital and the White House?  How about all the other government offices?

Is the Senate office building still secure? How about security services for our senators? How about pay for them and their staffers?

Methinks it is time for the legislators to feel the same pain the we are starting to feel.

And IMO, if the services of a government office are deemed “Non-Essential” then we really have to ask ourselves (and our government) if they are needed at all.
