David Asman on Fox Business News now saying it's time for a new party, need to get back to core principles that the revolution was founded on - cutting down government in every area, military, welfare, etc....

He then calls for potentially *Shutting Down the Government*!!!

Fucking *AWESOME*.

I will keep this updated to see if they do a text buy/sell/hold vote on 'shutting down the govt' :D

Stay tuned!

EDIT: Got a bit too excited... by 'shutdown' he means more along the lines of *gridlock* than actually *shutting down the government*. Oh well.

FBN is conducting a Buy/Sell/Hold vote. So make sure you text BUY to 369249 before 8:00 PM. Results of the vote will be within the last 5 minutes of the show (7:55 PMish)

I don't understand this whole "the government will shut down" thing...

What does it all mean?

Will the people elected for the next Congress (Rand, Ron, Amash, etc.) not be able to take their seat?

It is talking about funding to operate . Doubtful it would happen , they probably already have a bill put together to continue as current until next budget is agreed on .

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,[72] that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.


I really don't get it how it didn't already happen.
