[Cincinatus' Wife]

Grand Canyon to reopen despite shutdown "........States had proposed this sort of arrangement early on, saying they’d done the same thing in the 1995-1996 shutdowns, but the Park Service had balked this year, telling states it didn’t have the legal ability to make those deals. Late this week, the service reversed itself....."

....telling states it didn’t have the legal ability to make those deals....

This is the SAME reason the death benefits to be paid to our heroes's families were blocked. Eric Holder and the U.S. Department of Justice scoured legal fine print to make the American people suffer.

Military death benefits withheld on purpose?

There isn’t any legal fine print justifying brownshirts closing open air parks or failing to pay death benefits to war widows. The Pay Our Military Act was designed to pay those benefits. But the White House and DOJ ordered the Pentagon to “make things as painful as possible.” I do wonder how long people are going to put up with this.
