Then where is the problem with comprehension 
I guess it has to do with the fact that we can give out hundreds of dollars to people as a stimulus then six monhts later be on the brink of a government shut down. I also hear shit all the time about all sorts of congressional and executive budgets. I just don't understand how the government can shut down without being on the brink of a total collapse of civilization. I wish i had more time to explain (and read and think) about it. but i gotta pack.

I don't think politician's are dumber than cheese. I do find however that most of them are short-sighted and self-interested. The title of politician carries negative connotations for a reason, despite the fact that there are diamonds in the dirt so to speak. How Congress can decide its own salary is beyond me. Maybe if the pay incentive was normalized, then maybe only people who have it good in their hearts will run for office and get things done instead of fiddle-farting around. 
I don't think civilization will collapse but seeing that the government might shutdown just shows how we haven't been doing something right. More importantly than an IQ test, I think anyone campaigning for office should have a firm understanding of what the Founding Fathers envisioned. Furthermore, I think the people themselves forgot what the Founding Fathers sought.
With or without the government, life goes on.

How the fuck can you close down a National Park? Shit, if this gets in the way of my camping plans for the summer I'm probably going to venture off into the mountains anyways. I mean, I'm assuming they won't be paying park rangers if their parks are closed, so who the hell is going to stop me?

I'll just tell them I respect the hard work they're putting in and would love to try some of the finished product, provided they have good fortunes.
Or I'd just leave. And possibly sneak a few samples later in the season. And go back and leave a rating of their work. Maybe they'd appreciate it?
