2 year closure is crazy.  No reason it should take this long and all you’ll hear in response is: “we need more money”. 

The solution to our problems with government is not more money. It is more competence.

Yet all we ever hear is the call for more funding. Think about it this way: if your aunt had a drug problem, the solution would not be giving her more money. Or if your spouse were struggling with obesity, handing them cash would not fix it.

Money is just a band-aid. What we need is real reform and solutions that address the root problems.

We need to get back to prioritizing the core functions of government and focusing only on those.
