“Even if there’s a ‘shutdown,’ it’s not like the vault doors get closed, and no money comes out of the doors. It doesn’t work that way.”-Marcia Howard, Federal Funds Information for States
According to CBS News, the supposed federal government shutdown has affected only 18% of government spending. In other words, 82% of government is still being funded, meaning it is open for business. CBS News reported this in the first couple of days of the supposed shutdown.
Most federal government programs are funded one month in advance (forward funded). This means all the crises that’s happening now is bullshit! By the way, during the last federal shutdown in the 1990s, does anyone remember armies of federal cops swarming National Parks? In fact, national memorials and monuments did not close down during the federal shutdown in 1995/96!!! One reason is that the Clinton regime allowed volunteer veteran groups to operate some war memorials, in place of federal employees. What’s up with the Obama regime?
Recently, mainstreamer news reports said Washington DC police forces are not being paid. Lie! There are reports that not only are federally funded cops still being paid, but the Obama regime is hiring more cops to enforce National Park/memorial shutdowns!
Federal cops are considered essential government employees. The ‘shutdown’ is supposed to continue paying essential employees. On top of that, the Congress has agreed to pay government employees back pay. So they are being paid!
The federal government has also closed National Parks that are self supporting, meaning those parks do not operate on taxpayer funding: “We have operated the Farm successfully for 32 years after the NPS cut the Farm from its budget in 1980 and are fully staffed and prepared to open today. But there are barricades at the Pavilions and entrance to the Farm.”-Anna Eberly of the independently funded Claude Moore Colonial Farm in Virginia
Some “exceptionalism”! Way to go U.S.A.!
