I was thinking about building a list of a hundred different things that if they were shut down, I would notice immediately.

I don't know, things like the water I brushed my teeth with this morning,

maybe the highway I take to work later today, or the grocery store that I go to

to pick up what I need here around the house.

What if you need to get gas and the gas station is closed?

There's about a million things we can list off that if they were shut down right now,

it would be anywhere from a minor inconvenience to something that's a really big deal,

like perhaps running water or toilets that work.

But when the federal government shuts down, who among us will notice?

I know there's people in the listening audience that work

for the federal government, have family or friends that work for the federal government. It may be

furloughed now. We know that typically when this happens, they all get back pay, they eventually

get everything. The fact of the matter is, the American public looks at the federal government as completely different than the rest of the United States.

They look at the federal government and the positions and jobs that are there, and this is not fair.

I'm merely stating how it is, because certainly working, you know, in the Marines or the military or some of the jobs that are out there that

are so difficult. Air traffic controllers come to mind. There are many people in national security.

These are very difficult jobs, very high stress, difficult jobs. But for the most part, we're talking

about 750,000 Americans that as of today are going to report to work

for the federal government and they're going to be told there's basically an evacuation plan

for a shutdown or a shutdown plan. You won't need to come to work anymore. You won't be getting

your paycheck for now. You know that when it's all over, you're going to get it. Or so we thought.
