We Aren’t Lucky Enough for a Government Shut Down By The Daily Bell Staff - January 13, 2018
Oh no! Another looming “government shutdown,” what are we going to do?!
We should be so lucky.
People talk about bipartisanship like it’s a good thing. But the point of Congress was never to get stuff done. The point was the make sure that only important stuff got done.
President Calvin Coolidge said, “It is much more important to kill bad bills than to pass good ones.”
Bipartisanship got the U.S. $20 trillion in debt. Bipartisanship got wars in the middle east, NSA spying, a trillion dollar per year welfare state, and yearly deficits from $450 billion to $1.4 trillion. (Fun fact: the fiscal year 2017 budget deficit was $666 billion.)
If the government actually “shut down” the American people might actually get some relief.
