Spain hasn't had a Federal gov't in 9 months,
and the sky didn’t fall. Hmmm….
For more than nine months, Spain has existed without a traditional national government. In the face of this lack of central authority and planning, Spaniards have done the impossible: they have survived without a government.
The New York Times recently reported on this phenomenon:
“After two grueling national elections in six months, and with a third vote possible in December, no party has won enough seats or forged the coalition needed to form a government. For the first time in Spain’s four decades as a modern democracy, this country of 47 million people has a caretaker government.â€
Spanish politicians warned the people that allowing the national government to fade away could have disastrous effects. However, as the New York Times notes, “the crisis seems to have offered a glimpse of life if politicians simply stepped out of the way. For many here, it has not been all that bad.â€
“No government, no thieves,†Félix Pastor, a language teacher, told the Times. Pastor said the people of Spain were better without a government because the politicians were unable to cause any more harm. Rafael Navarro, a 71-year old pharmacy owner in Madrid, told the Times that “Spain would be just fine if we got rid of most of the politicians and three-fourths of government employees.â€

1. Say, now there's an idea
Uh, it's been an idea for years now, but Democrats, liberals, and primitives didn't pay any attention, as it's "too radical" for them, they being afraid of change.

This has actually already happened, but I can't remember how long ago; a few years.
Belgium too went for quite a while without a government.
<<<doesn't recall that anything bad happened to Belgium.
And so I can't understand why the primitives get all upset, bent out of shape, every time there's a threat of a governmental shutdown here.

It's happened here twice that I can recall. Still standing.

Are any DUmmies promising to flee to Spain if Felonia von Cankles loses the election?

For all their talk about being "revolutionaries," "radicals," "rebels," "iconoclasts," "anti-establishment," "counter-culture," and somesuch, the primitives are full of shit.
They're actually hidebound reactionaries, afraid of change, such as in this case.
It'd all be totally different, but the world'd still be here, if the government withered away.
I think it's worth a try; I suspect that at worst, it couldn't be any worse than it is now, and at the most likely, it'd probably be an improvement.
<<<a revolutionary, a radical, a rebel.

I still think about this: When we had our govt shutdown a couple years ago, somebody thought it would be a good idea to put orange traffic cones in the vicinity of Mt. Rushmore. "You can't look at this!" We can live quite nicely without such absurd insanity. Someone is earning a salary off our backs for this kind of thinking.

If Shillary gets in I have no doubt that between her dedication to shut down our energy sector and what she owes to her Saudi donators we will have government inflicted gasoline in the area around $6.00/gal by the end of 2017.

Bought a butt load of oil stock early March when it was at 30/bbl.
