What value does the government really provide?

It’s interesting (and maybe telling) to see what departments and groups Congress is rushing to restore funding to in spite of the government shutdown.

Either the government provides true value to Americans or it doesn’t.

Or… maybe they’re just picking and choosing what they like about the government and ignoring the things they don’t like.

Nah! Couldn’t be.

The Washington Post has a story today apparently on what’s been OK’d and what hasn’t.

“Then shut it down”

Every time talk of a government shutdown happens I want to go back and watch these episodes of West Wing… (and usually I do.)

I’ll be waiting to see President Bartlet take a walk from the White House to the Capital and show Congress what’s up.
