I would make a statement and say that 83% of the government is operating, and that&#8217;s enough &#8211; everything essential is running. And I would say that the Constitution gives the House of Representatives the power of the purse, which I intend to exercise, to rein in out-of-control spending. And I would tell President Obama that there will be no more stop-gap continuing resolutions to fund the government, but we were going to go back to the original way this was done &#8211; fund the government with regular budget resolutions, department by department. Otherwise, get used to the so-called government shutdown, because this is the new normal. Maybe now we can balance the budget.<\/p>\n<p>We have these amazing stories cropping up now. For example, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/Big-Government\/2013\/10\/05\/Feds-Try-to-Close-the-OCEAN-Because-of-Shutdown\" target=\"_blank\">National Park Service trying to close Florida Bay<\/a>. People will see that this is indeed an Obama temper tantrum. Hopefully they haven&#8217;t lost the capacity of independent thought so much so as to realize that such a shut-down takes more personnel and resources than leaving the bay open. The establishment media may try to silence stories like the parks official who said, &#8220;We&#8217;ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can.&#8221; But stories will get out, and people will love the Republicans for standing for restraint and responsibility, no matter what the media say.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.libertymusings.com\" data-width=\"450\" data-show-faces=\"true\" data-send=\"true\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-4419877247826466\";\n\/* 336x280, created 7\/26\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"2207044504\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Click here to visit the Liberty Musings <a href=\"..\/\">conservative politics<\/a> home page.<\/p>\n\t<div class=\"quickshare-container\">\r\n\t<ul class=\"quickshare-genericons monochrome quickshare-effect-expand\">\r\n\t\t<li class=\"quickshare-share\">Share:<\/li> \r\n\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fthis-is-how-we-do-the-budget%2F&amp;t=This+is+how+we+do+the+budget+<+The+Liberty+Musings+Blog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Facebook\"><span class=\"quickshare-facebook\">Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fthis-is-how-we-do-the-budget%2F&amp;text=This+is+how+we+do+the+budget+<+The+Liberty+Musings+Blog\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Twitter\"><span class=\"quickshare-twitter\">Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fthis-is-how-we-do-the-budget%2F&amp;media=&amp;description=Oh%2C+how+I%27d+love+to+be+the+Speaker+of+the+House+right+now.+I+would+make+a+statement+and+say+that+83%25+of+the+government+is+operating%2C+and+that%27s+enough+-+everything+essential+is+running.+And+I+would+say+that%26hellip%3B\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Pinterest\"><span class=\"quickshare-pinterest\">Pinterest<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"http:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fthis-is-how-we-do-the-budget%2F&amp;title=This+is+how+we+do+the+budget&amp;source=The+Liberty+Musings+Blog&amp;summary=Oh%2C+how+I%27d+love+to+be+the+Speaker+of+the+House+right+now.+I+would+make+a+statement+and+say+that+83%25+of+the+government+is+operating%2C+and+that%27s+enough+-+everything+essential+is+running.+And+I+would+say+that%26hellip%3B\" title=\"Share on Linkedin\" target=\"_blank\"><span class=\"quickshare-linkedin\">Linkedin<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fthis-is-how-we-do-the-budget%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share on Google+\"><span class=\"quickshare-googleplus\">Google+<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li><a href=\"mailto:?subject=The+Liberty+Musings+Blog:+This+is+how+we+do+the+budget&amp;body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.libertymusings.com%2Fblog%2Fthis-is-how-we-do-the-budget%2F\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share via Email\"><span class=\"quickshare-email\">Email<\/span><\/a><\/li>\t<\/ul>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh, how I&#8217;d love to be the Speaker of the House right now.
