Republicans say the GOP-controlled House intends to pass legislation to reopen portions of the government, including national parks and processing of claims at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

The House would also allow the government of Washington, D.C. to use its own taxpayer funds to provide services like garbage pickup, as well as keep D.C. employees on the job.

Why? Now is the time to privatize the national parks.

Michelle Bachman and several other congressmen cut the police tape so that the Vets could enter. Video on The BLaze

“the first things they cut are football, band, other athletics, other extra curricular, pretty much in that order and they keep them cut until the public squeals uncle and votes for higher taxes.”

Those things shouldn’t be paid for by taxes anyway...

Gettysburg Battlefield had to tell the KKK that their planned get together has been cancelled. The other 'good' news is that the visitors center, Cyclorama and Museum will remain open as it is PRIVATELY owned. A must see if you go to Gettysburg.

Mount Vernon is probably open as it too is privately operated. So there are two great options.

good post

The storm troopers on the front line for the democrats are the reporters of the mainstream media . reporters are democrats just posing as reporters in order to advance socialism/democrats.

Our side won’t fight to the death. If they had any sense they would take advantage of this opportunity to point out absurd govt waste. All people can whine about are public parks and memorials? Good grief.

Reid has already allowed a bill to pay the military pass. That horse is out of the gate.

Most people will go along with that, when they hear it on Good Morning America.

Y'know, I've heard about all the damn namecalling and propaganda out of that bunch of lousy, lying, communist REMF's that I'm going to tolerate.

I'll take care of my family and my business and my country, and if they want to whine about it on Today or anyplace else, they can all line up and kiss my lily-white a##.

If they would pass bills instead of omnibus continuing CRs, then the House leadership would not be in such a bind. The RINOs on Appropriations are just as much a problem as the Rats. Produce budget bills for each cabinet level agency. Some of the quasi-agencies like Nuclear Regulatory Commission are funded out of fees paid by licensees.

Reid will decine - b/c each bit of gov’t that opens is less pressure on repubs and more pressure on dems.

So this will put dems in a terrible light - turn down funding repeatedly on popular things .. tables have turned eh? And a debate over 0bamacare will make the dems look HORRIBLE. So harry has to decide... will he make the dems look horrible or horribler?

Just keep this up until the dems allow debate on 0bamacare. We’ve not ever EVER had that chance. NEVER.

That’s one big reason why we’re so pissed. They really don’t get it.
