Consequences? They would have to shut down a bunch of do nothing agencies?

Right. So such down the FAA, grounding all commercial air traffic. Close all the courts and shut down the FBI. Bank robbers and drug traffickers get a pass. No more money to pay Federal prison guards, so Federal convicts get released on the streets. No more money for section 8 housing vouchers, so you're going to start seeing lots more homeless people in your neighborhood.

Worst of all: no more border partrol. You think the border is a sieve now? Just wait to see what happens when the border patrol is told to go home.

Not worried about the military? It's ture we'll have enough money to pay soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen their salaries, but if we pay the bondholders, social security and medicare recipients too, we'll not have enough to pay for bullets and the gas that fuels tanks and Humvees. So soldiers get their money, but they can't fight. That's great.

And then you can be assured that our credit rating will be lowered.

I'm amazed at how many conservatives have failed to think this through.

I am pretty sure that the president can pick and choose what gets shut down. We’ve been here before. I’m, surprised so many here have forgotten.

“I’m amazed at how many conservatives have failed to think this through.”

You’ve spent a great deal of time supporting Hussein “citizenship” and telling us not to waste time and energy about it, and now you’re all concerned if we don’t increase Hussein’s blank checks?

BTW, what’s with the messiah’s fraudulent SSN?

What were we calling these people, was it “concerned trolls”?
