No hyperbole. He has made no denial that he is a tea party lap dog but this new
stunt is beyond his other criminal behavior. The HP carried a piece and it is blasting all over the local news down here.. Hey, he wants to punish Florida for going Obama...it is now personal for we liberals here.

This from the Tampa paper.

It may not last: Miami-Dade County alone is losing $31 million in personal income per week, a number that reaches $46 million across South Florida, according to a county economist's report cited by The Miami Herald.
Though it is expected local federal employees will eventually receive backpay, there's no telling how long the shutdown may last: no specific determination on how to end it was reached Thursday night when President Obama met with 20 House Republicans.

Meanwhile, Florida Governor Rick Scott (R) has forbidden the use of state funds to keep federal programs run by the state afloat, according to a memo obtained by the Times/Herald Bureau. Some of the programs facing closure serve foster children, veterans, and schools:

1. What else is new.

This is our penance for electing Rev. Henry Kane.

2. No mean trick, considering Fla. is at sea level.

I truly think this is all a long planned move.
Turn as many states as possible Republican, force a Fed. Gov. shutdown, and then shut down all programs linked to Fed. budget.
and don't spend money on those closed programs when the Gov. opens again.
Make every program go to court to get funded.
Meanwhile, Repugs. in the House are passing selective funding bills..governing by piecemeal.
