The take from taxes annually is what, some 500B?
Double that?
They spend more than that in one day with the stroke of a pen.
I don't see where withholding payments for one day or one year makes them quake.
We are 10 trillion in debt, with more than 100 trillion (100) in unfunded mandates, yet they just passed a trillion dollar spending bill, that is nothing more than a temporary fix.
They do not worry about where the bucks come from
. They do not worry about bucks at all
they do not have any inclination to worry about funding.
If they did, we would not be where we are now.
I submit, withholding $$ from them will not alter their course, only the course of the individuals who participate, on an individual basis.

The idea is not really so much about the financial impact on them as showing them that people are outraged.
It would without a doubt get the MSM attention that is what is necessary.
The media has been against us for the most part, until about 2 - 3 days ago. That is when MSNBC and the like started saying toss out the bill in it’s entirety.
Even the left will be outraged now.
Now is the time to take advantage of that. Unlike the tea parties, where they said “thousands” of people showed up, they will accurately report or even inflate the numbers now if American’s deprived the government of funds for just one day.
It is more a perception of harm than actual financial harm that can be done. The unity will be shown, which is what we need.
