Ihave to admit I’m of two minds on the federal government shutdown. On one hand, our government is too big, too pervasive and too entwined in our daily lives. Our Founding Fathers would be rolling in their graves if they knew that the federal government now employs millions of people and regulates nearly every facet of society.
Is it really such a bad thing to shut that down once in a while?
