Shutting Down the Feds is a Bad Thing, Why?

Ok, so the federal government may shut down if they can't agree on a budget. That is a bad thing, why? If the feds are shut down, they can't do any more damage. They won't have the money to send Marines from Camp Lajeune to Libya, which they shouldn't do any way, they won't have the money to oppose states which are trying to enforce the laws, they won't have money for homosexuality sensitivity training. You see, no problem...I understand the gravity of the situation, but can't resist a little sarcasm. And the democrats, instead of cutting spending, are trying to blame the Tea Party for 'stalling' by not agreeing to keep spending tax payer dollars for welfare cell phones and bridges to nowhere, and for 'art' exhibits of crucifixes in jars of urine. (Try doing that with a Koran and see what happens.) Maybe if the congressmen had to buy their own bottled water or pay their parking tickets we could get them to cut the budget. I have had to cut my budget and sell some stuff off as well. So keep up the pressure on Congress to cut spending because, if you are like me, you can't afford higher taxes and that is the only alternative to cutting spending.
