So you want a few million government employees on the dole, too?

I hope you don't draw veteran's benefits or ever need services from any of the myriad government agencies. I assume you do not ever plan to visit a US Park or take advantage of the many informational services. I hope a tornado or hurricane or flooding or earthquake or forest fire or other natural disaster doesn't hit your area because FEMA may not not have funds or personnel to come help you put your lives back together or even to feed you and provide water.

There also won't be any police to stand between Abdul, suicide bomber, and you and don't expect the fire department or EMT's to be there to pick up the pieces.

There may not be anyone there to provide those services. The problem is people tend to think all these services will go on regardless of cuts. They won't. They can't. And at some point, they'll quit giving a damn and then we might as well rename ourselves Upper Tijuana.
