Sept 30, 2013 - PPM - Government Shutdown

This week’s PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) is the GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.

The Federal Government was shut down by Congress because of their inability to approve a Continuing Resolution (CR).  This is nothing more than a Manufactured Crisis.

Naturally, some tried to over dramatize the effect of the Government Closure.

The National Park Service says the Obama administration ordered the closure of the World War II Memorial.  This Memorial was paid for by PRIVATE donations.  It is an OPEN AIR Memorial, meaning it does not require human or Government supervision.

There are pictures of 7 workers setting up the “barry-cades”, which is more security assistance than was sent to help with Benghazi last year.  The National Park Service is spending more closing things down than to keep them open.  Why hurt the American people unnecessarily?

This has strong reminders of what the Obama administration tried to do before the “Sequestration.”  It would be great if the media would recall how Obama portrayed the Sequestration as the pending apocalypse.  

Obama is using the same ineffective tactic with the Government Shutdown.  Only this time, Obama is using and abusing our Greatest Generation, our World War II veterans.  SO SAD.  SO PATHETIC.
