Just keep quiet when the government shuts down again, when you can't get a travel Visa, visit the Grand Canyon, when they strip the EPA of regulations and you can't drink clean water, breathe clean air. Watch fish prices soar when fishing isn't regulated and stocks are rapidly depleted, food not inspected, see Interstates wear down and not be repaired, weather forecasts be affected, social security checks slow to a crawl... that's just a bit of what will happen without funding government.

Republican-controlled Senate could mean rocky road for federal employees
The Republican victory in the Senate changes the political landscape more for the federal workforce than most Americans. The terrain for federal employees could prove rocky, not that it had been so smooth before.The party’s impressive set of victories Tuesday now will give it full control of Capitol Hill. Congress rules over the working and living conditions of Uncle Sam’s staff to a far deeper degree than any other sector.
With a GOP-controlled Senate, federal employees should expect a Congress more willing to pick their pocketbooks by requiring them to contribute more toward their retirement. The House Republican spending plan, authored by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), would make workers pay 5.5 percentage points more of their salary toward retirement.
