I know that many here on freerepublic would look forward to a shutdown but it is a losing effort for the GOP.
I am long past caring about the GOP..let’s face it, they don’t care about us in the slightest..except when it’s “votin’ time. They only care about living the big life, on our dime. I personally would like to see the govt shutdown until a BUDGET is agreed to...a complete shutdown, no “protected programs”.. (The inability to recharge the EBT cards would make Ferguson look like a tailgate party)...bring it!
You said no ‘protected programs’. You’re crazy if you’re thinking about shutting down the defense department, homeland security, FBI, IRS, federal court system, and the air traffic control system. You do that and you’d lose the shutdown battle in less than 12 hours.
