| #3 Actually closing the government for this holiday does not save much money (a few less a/c units will be operating). On the contrary, it generates extra cost in overtime (for the postal service, the US health service and others who have to operate). |

| #2 That is a fine tribute to Reagan but to really do him justice, don't reopen! |
