Republican can’t figure out why government shutdown shut down government parks

[UCmeNdc]

For nearly six minutes on Wednesday morning, Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) angrily berated the head of the National Park Service for closing down parks and memorials in Washington, D.C.

During a joint committee hearing, the Republican congressman asked NPS Director Jonathan Jarvis why protesters associated with Occupy Wall Street were allowed to camp in McPherson Square in 2011 but World War II veterans were not allowed to visit open-air monuments amid the government shutdown.

Jarvis told Gowdy that D.C. parks and memorials must close during a shutdown under the Anti-deficiency Act, which prohibits federal employees from spending money that has not been authorized by Congress.

People wonder why congress is so messed up? The Congress people do not even understand their actions have certain obvious results.

1. The Stupid Patrol needs to grab Rep. Trey Gowdy and put him away somewhere safe.

I mean, the 3rd grader that lives next door to me was telling me, the other day, about how the shutdown effects so many things.

Rep Gowdy is disgustingly ignorant.

2. Think about it Mr. Idiot Congressman!

The congressman seems to not understand that the barricades were erected to protect park property in the absence of park personnel normally on duty at the site to protect park property.
