That reality ALONE puts the lie to the "shutdown" premise: Government will not shut down, just be trimmed back to a forced balance budget. If Obama is the smartest man in the room, he'll have the wisdom to know where to cut to ensure that the government makes its LEGITIMATE payments.

The last showdown nearly spilled the beans when the TSA shut down the airports because of the Sequester: that was immediately seen as a punitive measure against a public that DARED to tell them to cut back their spending!

#4 It was the FAA that tried to shut down the airports, not the TSA.

#5 Pappy, some days it's hard to tell the TSA's product from trying to shut down airports.
