They shut for snow days. Meh, go ahead. Shut'er down. :salute:

Maybe it will be like it is with us, every time our government takes a vacation, the economy recovers


Bloody hell, my cousin will be traveling to Montana on wendsday, any thoughts on it from the natives ???

I think a shutdown is way overrated. Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think congress gets paid, which i would conjecture is the biggest reason they make such a big deal out of it, aside from exploiting an opportunity to paint the opposing side into a corner.

EDIT:
After a bit of reading, it appears both congress and the white house will continue to draw checks. What a bummer. None of those bums should be getting paid IMO.

Many of the national parks get very busy during the fall season with leaves turning. I know several near here would be closed. It also cost about 1 billion just to shut govt. down. I don't really care, they waste billions like pennies.

Sad, congress gets paid, soldiers would get IOU's to redeem later.

You got me thinking something (again) that many of us probably have wondered at one point or another: Why the hell can't the government conduct itself like everybody else - to live within it's means instead of charging everything on credit?

It's like a giant snowball rolling downhill. It just gets bigger, and bigger. This can't go on forever.

They only do this to drive stock prices down so they can buy short and sell long.
It's all about the Benjamins and how they can tuck obscene amounts of them in their pockets by doing nothing.

Nipple twists for the lot of them!

You just did :sunny:

The government shut down twice before. We are still standing. Shut it down! :yeah:

All take all three Alex for $100k. :yeah:

Don't forget to save your work before shutting down. :yep:
