Is a reduction of federal government spending for a few days by 13% really a government shutdown? Of course not, though that was all that happened the last time Congress did not agree on a new budget authorization in time. Especially not when government spending is at least four times that of a legitimate government abiding by the principle that its proper function is only to protect every American individual's right to life, liberty, self-ownership, property, freedom of conscience, freedom of association, freedom of speech and press, the freedom of self-defense, the right to the ownership of one's own labor and the fruits it produces, the freedom to trade and to contract, and the pursuit of one's own happiness -- all while free from others, including the government, initiating the use of force against the individual.
Yet once again, such a trivial prospective reduction in government spending on the 100th day of the Trump administration is being called a government shutdown. Fox News, CNN, ABC, and NBC are all guilty of this alarmist, Yellow journalism. It is a lie that promotes interest in their broadcasts. They clearly believe they are promoting their own self-interest with a lie. Americans should be angry about this misrepresentation of the facts by our Fake News media.
