17% of the government shut-down is not what I call a government shutdown.
Any of us can find 17% of the government that should be permanently shut down. In fact all of it could come from welfare expenditures. Close down the Dept. of Education - it is a state responsibiliy anyway. All of the departments are bloated.
After the overt behavior of the National Park Service & the National Forest Service the past 15 days, I think we have 2 more agencies that can be shut down.
Turn over all responsibility for the Forests & other parks to the states. Get the green shirts out of our lives.
