We have a home in NW Indiana, the town sits on the south shore of Lake Michigan and is surrounded on the other three sides by the National Park Service Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. All of the parks facilities were shut down during the intitial stages of the sequestration, including the Welcome Center over on IN-49. The rangers and adminitrative staff were all sent home to wait it out. Far as I know they nobody lost their jobs, but to suggest that no federal employees got hurt is just a baldfaced lie.

Ah, yes.... Now that you mention it, I do remember that parks were closed. Also impacted were the auxiliary businesses to parks such as restaurants, hotels, and other tourist type businesses.

Yes. He does not seem to STFU. He needs to be shouted down. And it works for half a day or so. But half a day of dialog without disruption is better than none. FWIW, I was the fist one to use the graphic here. So for confirmation,

Yep half a day that the working class work instead of mooching. Do you have a high enough rooftop to yell from because your shouting down isn't working troll.

Let's not forget business loss by the chilling effect of debt worries or overregulation.
