What if the government shut down and no one noticed?

I guess we will never find out.

But just imagine the heat the Dims would get from the gimme crowd. It would be fun.

“What if the government shut down and no one noticed?”

In 1920 nobody would have noticed. But now everything is government funded and manned. Airports, security, roads, countless university programs. People would notice. But, it won’t happen. (It might be good if it did happen, but people would die. Hospitals would indeed stop running. Power would get cut off.) Government has a controlling thumb on practically everything.

What we need is a surgical removal of the cancerous government from the body politic. We can do this without killing the patient (us.) But it would take will power and it would damage (MSM would make certain) whoever does it. There would be riots as they turned off the Obama phones and cancelled the EBT cards.

The media said the republicans would have hell to pay if the sequester went through. It hasn’t happened. But, they still will cave.

"What if the government shut down and no one noticed? I guess we will never find out."

Actually we did find out when the Republicans were blamed back in the Clinton years for shutting down the Fedgov, which was actually Clinton's refusal to sign the appropriations bill. Guess what? Nothing of consequence happened. We all went on with our daily lives and didn't even notice. SHUT IT DOWN AGAIN!

As a friend and I talked earlier, it's time the States just say enough! No one, not even Obama, has the nerve to attack the States if they don't play along, and the States are starting to realize it, especially since the USSC ruling that the Fedgov can no longer with hold money if the States don't play by Fedgov rules. The only thing positive to come out of the Obamacare stupid tax ruling. It was a HUGE States' Rights benefit.

STATES' RIGHTS!
Fight for those Rights as guaranteed in the 9th and 10th Amendments! Contact Your Governors and State Legislatures!

Want a REAL cause to work for rather than some politician who will change course once in DC? Contact your State Governor and Legislature and tell them your tired of Fedgov intrusion. Tell them you want State sovereignty as guaranteed by the US Constitution Amendments.
