Considering we borrow a significant amount of every dollar we spend from the Chinese, perhaps it is time for a government shutdown to focus the mind. Sorry it might ruin a camping trip. It's like blowing all your take home pay on Vegas vacations and putting the childcare and groceries on the Visa. Eventually, you're over your limit, and when Visa demands a payment, we are complaining about having to cut back on our frivolous boondoggles. Fellow Americans, government spending is out of control (every household in America owes $110,000). It's time to pull out the heroin needle of unbridled government spending. Sorry to say it but Government shutdown = cold turkey withdrawal. Begin flames in 3...2..1
