these agencies act with some managerial autonomy. the fence pictured looks no more severe than the simple fencing I see at Carnivals in town for a few days. I have to ask if it is a simple Quoing construct that has always been there.

I do not quite understand the government shutdown. Has not the fringe rightwing zeitgeist been to shut down the federal government? what are the priorities?

There are some headlines that it is an issue of a southern obstructionist led movement to "de-fund" the affordable care act. this is a dastardly and fundamentally dishonest strategy, regardless of to what degree the affordable health care act was corrupted by the insertion of dictum by the very lobbyists against it who then co-opted it and later made a political spectacle of opposing it. the only honest strategy is for Congress to repeal the Affordable Care Act. This amount of legislation would only require a few dozen words and the votes to make it pass. This would seem easier than the legislation of the Affordable Care Act, which is some thousands of pages of words long. How many words were in Prohibition, and the act of Congress to repeal Prohibition?
in Conclusion, the obstructionists to passing a budget are fundamentally dastardly and incapable of honesty and intelligence.

what are the priorities?

very simple: whatever "they" want, we don't; and whatever "they" don't want, we do.

This is the crux of the childish, partisan world inside the Beltway.
