“Shut down the non-essential, spendaholic Federal Government “
The president gets to spend the military budget on whatever he wants. Clinton spent all of the spares money on social projects. He had soldiers in full combat gear diapering AIDS babies in Africa. He literally ran us out of bullets and bombs. Obama is talking about retiring entire fleets of aircraft. Whole types, like the A-10, the B1, whole series of F-15’s.
When the guy deciding what is essential is Obama, this probably isn’t the optimal plan.
The US House decides who gets paid by approving one tiny continuing resolution to fund after another, starting with our US Military.
Mothballing Air Force One for the next 4 years would be a very good start as the roll back of Obamanation continues to pick up momentum.
