Not only lose money, but spend money using Park Police to enforce shutting down a money making activity that does not need to be shut down because the purpose of the Anti Deficiency Act is for the government to NOT SPEND without Congressional authorization. It is not TO SPEND in order to shut down. That is completely the opposite.
We need to find another term than government shutdown to describe the situation of not being authorized to SPEND!
Agreed and also according to Wikipedia:
The ADA also includes 31 USC 1342, a provision which prohibits voluntary services.
which to me means no unpaid workers allowed to perform tyrann....er, services.
