The Obama Administration has been busy shutting down federal assets like open air parks and monuments. They want to show us how important the federal government is. Instead they are showing us how evil and spiteful the federal government can be with the wrong people heading it up. (In light of this and the politicized IRS, the politicized DoJ, and the politicized EPA, why did we even think of letting the feds take control of medical care?):shock:
It seems to be costing the federal government more to close these parks, monuments, and roads than it would to let them remain open.
- Mt. Rushmore was closed. And park rangers kept people from observing the monument from public roads.
- National Parks were closed, and the private businesses that lease land on them were forced to shut down.
- A road through a national park was closed leaving school buses unable to return children from a school.
- As is well known, the WWII Monument in Washington DC was closed. Extra law enforcement was called in to keep people out. Octegenarian WWII veterans were threatened with arrest for insisting on seeing the monument.
- Federal web sites that typically require little oversight from IT were shut down. However, whitehouse.gov is still able to provide us with the latest updates on Pres. Obama's efforts to grab a sandwich.
- A jogger is booted from the Jefferson Memorial
- The Gettysburg Memorial was closed. This prompted some civil disobedience.
