"I won't fund that!"
"I'll close this!"
"It's mine!"
"No, it's mine!"
My tween children today exude far superior control of their emotions than the officials--and I use that term loosely--we elected to office.
When the National Park Service tried to shut down Mount Vernon, a privately funded operation that takes no federal money, I felt they went too far. In reaction to the Republican stance of not approving a budget unless it defunds ObamaScare, the feds have gone nuts trying to inconvenience the very citizens they're charged with serving. I was wrong.
Just read a bit about the feds putting cones near Mount Rushmore, blocking the pull-off lanes to eager vacationing picture-takers. Um, excuse me? Doesn't it take much more manpower and money to erect the blockage rather than just leaving it "as is?"
A fed employee stated what's really going on: "We've been told to make life as difficult for people as we can," an angry Park Ranger told the Times. "It's disgusting."
Indeed.
