The clock is ticking and we hear the Government is going to shut down. I say this could be a good thing. We have a government that is completely out of control and can't seem to rein in spending. It appears that the only way we can slow government is to shut it down. Wouldn't it be funny, if the government shuts down and nobody notices? We hear that essential services will continue but that 800,000 non-essential employees will be furloughed. Well, Duh. If they're non-essential, what are they doing there in the first place?
