The beltway courtesans are in a
panic. What will the country do if the
federal government shutdowns? How will
the American people function without the heavy hand of a government bureaucrat?
I know this is hard for some to
understand, but we’ll do just fine. The
federal government is not the country. I
don’t know when this concept came about.
I can certainly state without hesitation, Washington D.C. will not be
missed by a huge percentage of the population.
However, you can damn well bet this
event will be politicized by the scoundrels and knaves that run that town. They will see this as an opportunity to propagandize
their importance by preying upon the weakest amongst us. They’ll go so far as to endanger the lives of a few just to score political points.
Democrats did it the last time; they’ll sure as hell do it again. Here is an example.
BETHESDA,
Md. — When there’s a government shutdown, families get shut out of continuous
medical treatment that may be their last, best hope. That’s the message from Dr. Francis
Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, to Congress. Collins
has been through government shutdowns before.
“We know the drill, we just hope we
don’t have to do it,” Collins says.
Collins tells reporters that during the
last government shutdown in 2013, 80 percent of NIH employees were sent home,
including researchers and clinical center staff. That meant that families whose
loved ones were receiving treatment at the Bethesda campus were turned away,
something that Collins says disgusted him, especially given the role of the NIH
in those cases.
“We’re not the National Institutes of
Health in most people’s minds, we’re the National Institutes of Hope,” Collins
says.
That fits well with the Democratic Party’s
narrative that Republicans want to starve children and kill off old people. Oh, and just in case you haven’t heard, the
federal government is the country.
