How about “The Barry-cade Drama”?
Except for the things that most directly affect the public.
Like shutting down the the Amber Alert Hotline, closing national parks, shutting down privately run hotels and inns on federal land, and closing off access to memorials and monuments.
Pentagon Will Order Almost All Furloughed Civilian Employees Back To Work
I’d be okay with a 17% budget reduction... maybe even finally breaking the back of baseline budgeting.
Right-sizing.

Consider the emotions today of all those Federal Employees who have young children.
They are not going to be happy, happy, happy with Barry’s AG Eric Holder for stopping the National AMBER ALERT Program over the weekend.
Surely, Mr. Fast and Furious Holder thought this Amber Alert cancellation through and made an exception for Michelle Obama’s two darling children?
BTW, I wonder if Barry, General of the Senate Harry “Mean Ol’ Guy” Reid, and Colonel of her former self Nancy “Always in a fog” Pelosi realize that other Federal employees ALSO have young children that need to be protected by the National Amber Alert Program?
BTW, BTW, the boy-toy, wanna-be dictator Barry Soetoro, aka Mr. Michelle Obama, COULD order his personal Corporate Jet, Air Force One, to be mothballed, by Executive Order, of course. (He must have a few blank EO forms lying around his empty chair, or his Golf bag - - - ).
That simple gesture just might, could, show that Barry also “feels our pain.”
Barry could also BARRYCADE his own personal Golf Course, and BARRYCADE the Oceans, only on Federal land, of course. (Governors are so touchy these days about THEIR State’s shorelines)!
Leftists’ biggest fear is that people will discover that they, and the government, is largely irrelevant in their everyday lives.
When the people say “we don’t need you”, the leftists’ reason for existance ceases to exist.
Many on the right are calling it the Shutnado, sarcastically. There is even a shutnado twitter feed.
That's interesting. It also means that, if you look at the numbers, even a shut-down government runs a deficit and spends more than it takes in. According to Wikipedia, the current planned budget is 3.8 trillion, and expected income will be 2.9 trillion, for a deficit of 900 billion.
But, if 17% of the government is really shut down (and that may be high, because of votes to guarantee back pay to "furloughed" non-essential employees), the spending cut would be roughly $600 billion, so we'd still spend at a $3.2 trillion rate, leaving a deficit between $200 and $300 billion!
Dummies. Now people think that nothing happens when the government "shuts down."
Can anyone in the class tell us how we can use this against them? Discuss.
Timeout.
It’s more like a “Slim-Down”.
MUST READ: DEBT CEILING A DEMOCRAT RUSE
The debt ceiling propaganda is a radical ruse by obozo and his minions to try to force the Pubbies into a cave in on obozocare and push America that much further into the Marxist hellhole obozo promised his ignorant supporters in 2008!
Raising the debt ceiling WITHOUT reigning in SPENDING and telling those “non-essential” bureaucrats to get REAL jobs (if they can find them) is a recipe for the further destruction of what remains of America.
If he takes us into default, it will be because HE made the decision to do so.
FACT: We are nowhere near that even with a complete budget stall. The US takes in nearly $250 BILLION in tax revenues each month. This is more than 10 times what is needed to service the interest on the debt ($220BILLION/year).
What this shutdown does, however, is force Obama into a position where he would have to prioritize the spending for what is left. It would NOT be the total chaos being pushed by the Dems and their lapdog media.
If you want your country back, ignore these phony scare tactics.
PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW. Don’t bother with the obozombies. They wouldn’t recognize a fact if it bit them on the ass.
