THERE IS A SHUT OUT
AMERICANS ARE SHUT OUT OF PARKS.
Trail Ridge road between Grand Lake and Estes Park CO is closed due to the shutdown. It is one of only two roads into Estes Park after the floods. This is a declared disaster area with major infrastructure damage. TR road will close for the winter due to weather before long but we need every day and every way we can get to try and get a handle on the flood aftermath before serious winter weather sets in.
TR road is a state highway so where do the Feds get off closing it? Unfortunately our mayor doesn't have the balls to stand up for us. He was on Fox News putting the blame on Congress instead of doing his job. But the fact remains, 0bama is applying pain to people in a national disaster area for political gamesmanship.
I post that not to complain or find relief but simply to inform all of yet another incident of 0malignant's narcissistic cruelty.
Congress has voted to pay the furloughed employees for their lost time. They should get their asses back on the job asap
Most people who get paid for being furloughed call it a paid vacation. Personally I get 2 weeks paid time off per year, until next year then I start getting 3 weeks, but nonetheless.. a few weeks free paid time off! Wow.. these government workers sure have my sympathy.
400,00 Department of Defense personnel back to work tomorrow. I don’t think the shutdown matters anymore. It is over!
What's the over/under that this "disgusted" Federal employee obeyed his orders?
