What stays open when the gvmt shuts down

[tangent4ronpaul]

USPS
airport gropings
border patrol (not like they are doing much)
DHS
military
social security checks
The FED
etc.

Interesting what they think is important.

anyone got a better list?

I think they might stop PELL and other education grants for the summer college sessions.

Will anything they shut down cause YOU pain?

These would be a nice chance to do a trial run of shutting down the military industrial complex.
