The Washington Post recently reported Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.) as saying, “We should not fear a government shutdown. Most of what we do up here is bad anyway.”
It’s hard to believe that not all that long ago the prospect of a government shutdown was so embarrassing Congress usually got its act together before the dreaded drop-dead date by enacting temporary, stop-gap continuing appropriations resolutions (CRs) to keep the government open.

Not deficit reduction devices, but the loss of staff makes the elected official actually do some work. I'm all about reducing the deficit and debt, but the elected idiots can't seem to stop spending taxpayer money on boondoggle nothing projects that actually benefit the people that put them in office.
