Police State USA: Land of the Checkpoints SEE WHICH AGENCIES GOT FURLOUGHED In the absence of an agreement on the upcoming budget for the United States, the federal government has been temporarily “shut down” and 815,000 of its whopping 2 million employees have been furloughed. This interesting situation gives Americans the chance to realize how little they actually notice when 41% of federal workers literally stay home. It was refreshing to see the notable furloughs of 91% of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), 93% of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 96% of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), 94% of the Dept. of Education, 91% of the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), 98% of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Disappointingly, agencies like the Department of Homeland Security, the TSA, the Drug Enforcement Agency, the FBI, the BATFE, saw little, if any, furloughs. Apparently raiding marijuana clinics, groping travelers, and setting up domestic highway checkpoints are considered an “essential” functions of government that couldn’t bear any furloughs.
