"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Obama Issues Government Shutdown Threat
Submitted by Sharon Secor on Wed, 2011-02-16 18:54
Yeah, yeah, yeah… promises, promises. They always threaten to shut it down, but they never do, do they? They’d hate for the public to see that it is indeed possible to get by without them. I do find it interesting, however, that the administration is seeking to strike fear in the hearts of the elderly and other fiscally dependent people – and, evidently, a flurry of protests to legislators – with a direct warning/threat of “stopped Social Security checks.”
