Possible Gov't Shutdown

And the debt just keeps getting bigger just in the last couple years, hummm!:rolleyes:

 

Last couple of years??? How about the last couple of weeks!!! The boneheaded move the administration pulled releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve for a "feel good" (read 2012 election) moment was one of the STUPIDEST things they have pulled. That was SEVENTY dollar oil. The price of oil dropped about $4.00 per barrel, gas went down maybe $.20 a gallon and is now climbing back up.

 

We now get to replace the SPR oil with HUNDRED dollar oil. 30 million barrels at $30 per barrel-you do the math.

 

And heaven forbid, we actually NEED the SPR oil. Isn't that our EMERGENCY supply in case of natural disasters or war??? Stupid, stupid, stupid.

PEOPLE!

This is a board to discuss cruises. NOT a political discussion board. That is what CNN and FOX News are for.

 

The question was how a theoretical government shutdown would affect travel and National Parks.
