Shut Down

[roberth]

To be completely fair, the golf course is paid through non-appropriated funds (NAF) which means a stoppage in federal funds doesn't affect golf course operations. The commissary is run by DECA which has officials paid for through appropriated funds. A more appropriate analogy and complaint is that private inns and open air parks are being shuttered around the country and people being evicted from their homes because they sit on or are accessed through national park lands while the president can still go golfing despite its sitting on federal property.

Thank you for the clarification.

LOS ANGELES – Funding for clinical cancer trials and other life-saving research under the National Institutes of Health was cut off in response to the government slimdown, but it looks like the cookie monster will still be knee-deep in chocolate chips (or is it carrots now?)
According to the Daily Treasury Statement and first reported byCNS News, the administration dished out $445 million to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) on the first day of the slimdown, which means funds for the likes of PBS Newshour, NPR and “Sesame Street” are being spent before cancer research.
“It’s more than irresponsible, it is reprehensible. It’s an ‘in-your-face’ move by the administration, blatantly picking winners and losers in this shutdown,” C. Edmund Wright, a columnist for Breitbart.com and American Thinker, told FOX411. “Public broadcasting is a staple of liberal propaganda.”

Seems pretty obvious now that everyone is gonna get paid eventually and this is all just BS. I doubt budgets are getting reduced by even 1/52 for the one week shutdown (so far).
