Quick Thought – Fed Shutdown in a week? So what?

White House ‘confident’ government shutdown can be avoided but still tells agencies to prepare for it

It’s not like this deadline, the Feds running out of money because, once AGAIN, our overpaid and over-ego’d CongressCritters have failed to do their jobs – pass a series of appropriation bills for each area of the government in time to have them signed by the President.  This time, we can blame Republicans for not doing their jobs and the Democrats for doing their very best to be the next Ted Cruz’s (how’s that in making the Dems become of their most hated Republicans?).

As I’ve said before, I really could care less.  LET them shut down – they’ll harm us far less with their meddlesome ways.  Sure, it’ll give the Dems the hee-bee jeebies for not being able to dole out Fed cash to “protect and help us primitives” (by continuing to borrow them). What most people will realize is that if they DO run into difficulties, they SHOULD be understanding that:

  • The Federal Govt is WAY too big and shouldn’t be doing all that it does
  • We’ve got 50 additional governments (the States) that can pretty much do the same thing (many already have department structures that mirror the Feds) and will most likely do a better job cheaper as they know the local conditions FAR better and more likely at a cheaper cost.

Maybe this might be a great time for the States to review the 10th Amendment and do what Congress is trying to do – after a century or so of relinquishing their Powers to the Feds, it’s time to take them back…

…and the money and responsibility to carry them out.
