Cut Spending or Shut it Down

Townhall - It sounds harsh and cruel, but U.S. House Speaker John Boehner's threat to shut down all but essential federal government services if the Democrats on Capitol Hill can't actually reign in spending is not only the fiscally responsible approach, it is also one that would be popular with the public. Enough with the gamesmanship of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the silliness of House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi. It's time for Republicans to let America know that the GOP means business -- cut the budget deeply, or shut her down! Read full column here: News New Mexico

What Harry Reid doesn't get is that there are an overwhelming number of Americans who would relish the idea of a government shutdown. Why is that? A sustained government shutdown would finally prove just how much we wouldn't miss government services. I guarantee you businesses would still open and life would go on. Presuming a shutdown would mean there wouldn't be any spending, a shutdown for a prolonged period of time would be a good thing. Harry Reid should be careful of what he wishes for. Harry would find out that the people are not likely to miss the government and the service HE provides.
