HART: Government’s shutdown: Notice anything different? Exactly
News Herold ^ | Jan 13, 2019 | By Ron Hart | Syndicated columnist

Shouldn’t there be chaos?

The government shut down Dec. 21 over Sen. Chuck Schumer and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi petulantly not wanting Trump to have any border wall funding. The federal government spends $4.4 trillion a year; the $5 billion Trump wanted is one-tenth of 1 percent of that. About the same percent that Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren is Native American.

If you are like me, you are more worried about government starting back up than it being shut down.

Who will open our open-air national parks? Who will answer the phones when we call? Who will give us the runaround at the IRS? Who will put us into intractable wars? Who will use the Justice Department to go after political opponents? Who will put us $22 trillion in debt?

Most of NASA is shut down, including the division that we pay to monitor to see if aliens in outer space try to contact us. I trust they put their "Out of Office" message on their email before they went home, in case aliens contact us.

Shouldn't there be chaos? Why are you not looting Target for a flat-screen TV? Who will let me know when the panda cam is back on at the Washington Zoo?

Mayors need to replace TSA with private contractors. TSA is a huge slice of federal employment.

I died...
CNN told me I died because of the shutdown, and that all life on earth was ending because of Trump.

CNN wouldn’t lie to me, would they?

A friend is very upset because he can’t get the “stamps” he needs on imported Champaign in order to sell it.

Meh.
