Shutdown—Just a Super Sequestration

The government shutdown is not all bad. We can learn from it, just like we did with the recent sequestration. There was a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth before the sequestration about all the terrible things that would happen but it turned out not to be so bad. We learned that the size of government CAN be reduced after all.

Now we are facing a Super Sequestration in the form of government shutdown. Maybe we will learn that government can be cut even more. Essential services are already exempted from the shutdown and some additional exemptions can certainly be made. It will come as quite a shock to the big government supporters when our country seems to continue operating with this smaller government

As one possible lesson we might logically ask why “non-essential” services need to be performed by government?!?!
