GOP tax plan is Historically unpopular

I think it is more that when the government shuts down few people notice. Congress doesn't want too many people figuring that out.

That's why they close national parks and cherry pick particular offices.

When they shut down the WWII memorial (and assaulted WWII Vets) it was amazing. There is never a guard or monitor there. Except when Obama wanted to show the pain of a government shutdown.

I hope you meant insulted instead of "assaulted".

However, the point is made. A government shut down is a polutical gimmick. It never really happens.

Obama was a vacuous establishment tool.

The Vets were scheduled to be there and were flown in for the event. Then the government shut down. The Park Police tried to block the memorial off (which is never is) and some Vets tried to get through. They actually did win out over the Park Police.

That is disgraceful.
