I just don't understand closing the gates. What's the harm in leaving them open?

Politics....phooooey!!!! I guess they figure we will moan and complain enough to our representative,i.e. congress people enough that they will concede to the other side and then they get what they want.....scool kids at work. I say FIRE all of them, Mr President included and start from scratch, informing them that if you don't get this mess straightened out in one year, you will be Fired too!!!! Now get to work, the clock is ticking......

Absolutely senseless like it cost money to leave a parking lot open. They all agreed to pay all back pay and if you are doing that why can't they go back to work to earn the money.

Did anyone besides me and the person/persons who shared this information wonder how they got all those signs printed and distributed far and wide, including to all the national parks and cemeteries overseas only eight to ten hours after the government shut down?

Take a look at this from someone who wanted to remain anonymous.

From the originator: I have worked in the government on and off for 40
years. During that time I became quite familiar with requisitions, bidding, awarding
contracts etc. It is a time consuming process with bean-counters and pencil-necked
bureaucrats every step of the way. The simplest request takes months not
days or hours.

In less than 8 hours of the shutdown, miraculously, professionally
printed 3X4 foot signs appeared all over the country in the tens of
thousands saying-"this [park, facility, etc. with custom logos] closed
due to government shutdown. There has not been a government shutdown in 17
years. These signs were designed, specifications were determined, signs
were then requisitioned, bids were posted and vetted, government
contracts were awarded. The materials were then ordered and the signs manufactured
then distributed U.S. Mails or freight companies.
This shutdown was orchestrated and planned well in advance at least 6-8
months ago. Millions of tax dollars were appropriated and spent in this
process. There is a paper trail a mile long leading directly to the White House.

Just sent my Senator an email with the pictures and the story about the immediate placements of the signs!
