No food stamps for the hungry and poor....
No checks for the widows of soldiers killed in our aggressive wars.
No Federal help for the elderly, ill, handicapped [as paltry as it was].
Many pensioners live in campgrounds in trailers on Federal Parklands. They have 48 hours to leave.
NASA is shut
NOAA [weather research] is shut
Etc.....the list is very long - a thousand things+, literally.
As you pointed out. The wars and military/intelligence continues unabated...as do their salaries and, remember all members of Congress get SOCIALIZED healthcare paid for entirely by the government via taxes....AND their main income from lobbyists and other special interests with under-the-table payments continue. Cynical to the third power! Shame!
