What If The Government Shut Down...
...And nobody noticed?
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Atlantic City's casinos were ordered to close Wednesday, the latest casualty of a state government shutdown that entered its second day Sunday after the Legislature failed to adopt a budget by its July 1 deadline...Corzine shut down nonessential government services Saturday after the Legislature failed to adopt a budget by its July 1 deadline, leaving the state without the means to spend money. Budget talks became heated this year as Corzine, a Democrat, proposed increasing the state sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent to help overcome a $4.5 billion budget deficit.
It seems to me that if they are arguing over 1% or 2% of the budget that if they just keep the government closed for a week, which is over 2% of the fiscal year, that should solve everything.
Aw heck, keep Trenton closed for a month.
Please!
