Government Shutdown: Everybody Panic!

One week and counting. Next Friday, the authority of the Executive to spend will expire, as a consequence of that pesky old living document, the Constitution: "No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law . . . ." Ho, hum.

As I’ve said before - keep the major entitlement checks coming - SS, Medic-blah, Unemployment, and close Health, Education, Energy, BATF, and a host of other warrens of parasites, and I think the real horror will come when Democrats understand just how little the public in general cares about that stuff. They’ll be begging to surrender inside of two weeks. Hide and watch.
