Via The Weekly Standard: Treasury Department Tells Callers Government Is Shut Down
The government shutdown may have ended last October, but the Treasury Department’s voicemail is telling callers a different story.
After callers wait a minute to hear all of the prompts, callers hear this:
Hello, Treasury Department?
Anyone home?
Sequester! Bush’s fault! Sequester! Bush’s fault! Racists!
I take back some of my criticism. The last part of the message is correct. This is the Treasury Dept. open for business as usual.
The expression “Lights On, But Nobody’s Home” comes to mind.
I know…I know…I know (wilding waving my hand in the air like Arnold Horshack) We’re so far in debt that the Treasury Department can’t afford to pay anyone to change the phone message.
Exactly. We have no money, so it’s appropriate that they be closed. But I’ll bet everybody is still collecting a paycheck. Leeches.
This is because the thief in the WH has stolen our money, therefore there is no reason to guard something that is not there.
