It is my firm belief that any Federal agency that is “Non-Essential” enough to shut down due to the Federal Funding issue is proven, by demonstration, to be unnecessary and should immediately have it’s funding cut by 1/3 before they explain why the remaining amount of their funding should continue.

Of course, the stupid will continue during this shutdown. National parks that were previously not attended nor serviced by park staff will now have their parking lot gates locked, things like that…..Scenic overlooks will be cordoned off by cones ….all designed to share the pain and to inconvenience the people that they are supposed to serve.

The Stupid of our government workers will be on full display.
