I have fond memories of the Clinton era government shutdowns. While this isn’t a federal shutdown it is NY state and ANY government shutdown is a good thing.
Chaos and anarchy. That’s what New York Gov. David Paterson is warning if he’s forced to shut down the government in a few days.
He says “anarchy” like it’s bad. Honestly, as many problems as government has caused how can less of it be a bad thing?
We all need less government in our lives.
Several years ago here in Minnesota the government had to shutdown because they couldn’t agree on a budget.
Was is chaos? Nope. Was it anarchy? I wish. The only thing anybody noticed was the fact they rest stops on the freeway weren’t open. I considered it the most productive time in Minnesota’s recent history myself.
