I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THESE THINGS... In regards to the Government Shutdown I have a few concerns and would like to know WHAT YOU THINK...First of all IF the SHUTDOWN was because of the BUDGET and CONTROLLING SPENDING, why did the GOVERNMENT go out and PURCHASE barricades and have signs made IF the government is SHUT DOWN, how can the CLOSED government afford to HIRE GUARDS to GUARD an open air Memorial that has NEVER been guarded before? How can they SHUT DOWN places that ARE NOT FUNDED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, but are located on federal land or federal highways, WHICH WE PAY FOR WITH TAX MONEY?..WHY was Camp David left open when he RARELY uses it?...WHY was his white house staff NOT EFFECTED?.. Via Ken Wood From a friend, this is fascinating: ORCHESTRATED GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. Did anyone besides me wonder how they got all those signs printed and distributed far and wide, including to all the national parks and cemeteries overseas only eight to ten hours after the government shut down? Take a look at this from someone who wanted to remain anonymous. I have worked in the government on and off for 40 years. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest request takes months not days or hours. In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of thousands saying-“this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed due to government shutdown. There has not been a government shutdown in 17 years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured then distributed U.S. Mails or freight companies. This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8 months ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this process. There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House. I WILL CONTINUE WITH MORE IN COMMENTS
