Would you miss the federal government?

Perhaps we need to test the adage, “You don't know what you have until it's gone.” In other words, let's not increase the debt ceiling and see what happens.

Will anyone notice if Social Security payments stop? Will anyone notice if our soldiers don't get paid? Will anyone notice, or even care, if children in poverty get food?

Let's shut the U.S. government down. Per the Republicans and the tea partyers, you won't miss it. Let's try it.
