Here we go again...

They probably did this before I posted, I just didn't see it...

FOX News, ultra-right-wing-conspiracy place that it is, published this:  "The official said the president doesn't want government shutdown, but they think from a "good government" perspective and for "good housekeeping," they need contingency plan."

HERE is the plan

You will note that it is similar to Clinton's press release (only this time, before the shutdown, so they can take every advantage to blame the Republicans):

"800,000 federal employees (the same as 1995) the official says is the "vicinity" of workers who would be affected." (Remember, they will all get back pay, so its their 'work' that is affected)

"IRS filings with paper claims won't be processed and audits will also be stopped. Electronic claims will continue. Small business loans and Federal House Administration mortgages will also be halted." (Again, good - don't depend on the government)

The National Institutes of Health will not be accepting new patients or starting new clinical trials. (this should be private too, if I'm wrong - I know I'm right when I say it should be smaller)


The Cherry Blossom parade in D.C. this weekend wouldn't be happening (WTF - I thought this was a District of Columbia thing, our taxes fund this?)

National parks will be closed, along with the Smithsonian (which includes things like the National Zoo). (How is seeing the Grand Canyon not a 'vital national security issue'?! Oh, and since it costs money, it should be open)
