Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The government shutdown is being felt close to home for some locals. They say they're being forced out of private homes on Lake Mead because they sit on federal land.

Joyce Spencer is 77-years-old and her husband Ralph is 80. They've been spending most of their time in the family ice cream store since going home isn't an option.

If people can be forced out of their homes on federal lands, Obama and Biden should be out since their residence sits on federal land and is staffed by federal employees, while those houses take no federal money. :???: :bs:

Agreed. They can sell the land to use money to pay the debt.

This is where I think Sarah Palin would make a great Sec. of the Interior. They are in charge of land deals, oil leases, water ways etc.

According to wiki, it's Sally Jewell, as of Apr. 2013, and yes she is probably the one calling the shots on the closing of Federal parks.

Suffer the little children at the whim of the insufferable, vindictive **** known as Barack Hussien Obama. :argh:
