The GOP (or at least the fringe wing, of which the rest of the Party is unwilling to cross) doesn't care about the consequences, even to the point of not caring about the consequences to GOP candidates. "Non-essential" (and who knows how that will be defined?) Feds should prepare for a long "vacation."

Poor neighborhoods can't even get the police to show up within 24 hours for a violent crime, but the richest can get the national guard to show up when a few dirty hippies want to march down into their neighborhood and yell at their expensive penthouses.<br /><br />In capitalism, capital is the most important thing...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-69968958061467302852013-09-18T22:34:27.114-04:002013-09-18T22:34:27.114-04:00Ditto Anon 6:52

Nothing in or out by plane, train, boat or automobile. No food inspectors, no marshalls, no courts, no secret service, nothing federal open or doing anything (except the military protecting the border) and give the government shutdown folks a real government shutdown.

Close all of the Social Security field offices and payment centers. Postpone all hearings. Close the National Parks. No VA claims. need a passport? Forget about it. No loan applications, no food inspections, etc...
