Host Chuck Todd spent much of his hour ait time wailing about the government shutdown. Strange. They have been shut down for two weeks and I haven't missed them at all. My mail is getting delivered. I don't expect a refund check from the IRS, so they can stay shut down forever far as I am concerned. I don't fly much so I don't care about the TSA.
Far as I can see, things are working with some 800,000 civil servants off the job. Maybe we could keep on that way and save some taxpayer money. These people get paid far better than they would in the private sector, far better than most of my constituents in Coos county, they have first class medical benefits, first class pensions, and they are all democrats. My sympathy for them is limited. If they run out of money they can go out and get a real job in the private economy.
And, if the Congress had done their duty earlier this year, and passed the federal funding bills like they are supposed to, the government would be open right now.
