House Hearing Room Bursts Out Laughing at Obama's "��Red Line" on CR

(CNSNews.com) - People attending a House Rules Committee hearing on Saturday evening burst into laughter when Rep. Jim McGovern (D.-Mass.) affirmed to House Appropriations Chairman Hal Rogers (R.-Ky.) that President Barack Obama, by threatening to veto a continuing resolution to fund the government past Monday if it includes a House amendment to delay Obamacare, has thus "drawn a red line" on the CR.

Blame it on the House and that tea party.

This shutdown is Barry's fault. He needs to listen to the people who disapprove of Obamacare on a 3 to 1 ratio and who elected Representatives to put a stop to it and that's what they are trying to do. Unfortunately with Obama there is no such thing as compromise because he is narcissistic and its his way or no way, just like a dictator.

Obozos "red line" may actually prove to be a "black line" to the US economy!

CSPAN Reporting that 90% of IRS employees will be furloughed! *Update: Shut down saving US Taxpayers $6.7 million per hour!

Let the shutdown continue! According to graphic below posted, 815,932 DC jobs are being furloughed. If they were all getting paid minimum wage in DC ($8.25/hour) that results in a savings of $6.7 million USD per hour or $53 million per day! What a great way to solve our debt crisis!

Ludwig von Mises Institute
Murray Rothbard (1990): "Has it occurred to many citizens that, for the few blessed days of federal shutdown, the world does not come to an end? That the stars remain in their courses, and everyone goes about their daily life as before?

I would like to offer a modest proposal, giving us a chance to see precisely how vital to our survival and prosperity is the Leviathan federal government, and how much we are truly willing to pay for its care and feeding. Let us try a great social experiment: for one year, one exhilarating jubilee year, we furlough, without pay, the Internal Revenue Service and the rest of the revenue-gathering functions of the Department of Treasury.

That is, for one year, suspend all federal taxes and float no public debt, either newly incurred or even for payment of existing interest or principal. And then let us see how much the American public is willing to kick into, purely voluntarily, the public till....

We make these voluntary contributions strictly anonymous, so that there will be no incentive for individuals and institutions to collect brownie-points from the feds for current voluntary giving. We allow no carryover of funds or surplus, so that any federal spending for the year--including the piteous importuning of Americans for funds--takes place strictly out of next year's revenue.

It will then be fascinating to see how much the American public is truly willing to pay, how much it thinks the federal government is really worth, how much it is really convinced by all the slick cons: by the spectre of roads falling apart, cancer cures aborted, by invocations of the "common good," the "public interest," the "national security," to say nothing of the favorite economists' ploys of "public goods" and "externalities."

It would be even more instructive to allow the various anonymous contributors to check off what specific services or agencies they wish to earmark for expenditure of their funds. It would be still more fun to see vicious and truthful competitive advertising between bureaus: "No, no, don't contribute to those lazy louts in the Department of Transportation (or whatever), give to us." For once, government propaganda might even prove to be instructive and enjoyable."

But they are not making minimum wage, they are making a lot more!
