Excuse me but in case you haven't been paying attention, it is the Democratic Senate that has been holding the Budget hostage for the past 4+ years. So don't blame the lack of funding on the Republicans when Dem. Senator Harry Reid refused to vote on a budget. Legislation for raising or cutting revenue do not belong in a budget bill.
Ror is confused. Their has been NO cutting of gov'r spending. Obama and the dem controlled Congress and INCREASE spending. Some agencies got a 24% INCREASE.
With the higher spending rate in place the dems do NOT want to have a discussion on reduing that spending so they refuse to submit a budget but, instead want to pass continuing resolutions at the HIGH rate.
I don't know about Glitch, but as for me,I rely on a camp stove and iodine tablets if I need to be sure that my water is clean (for your information - the Clean Water Act was signed by a Republican), my doctor tends to my any medical needs that I can't handle myself, I could live very comfortably without electricity and am interested in going off the grid(around here a private company supplies the electricity), I don't rely on police for anything, and I practice fire safety,
As for roads - there is no reason why they can't become privately maintained.
Sure, another rugged indivualist who constantly posts on c-d republican talking points ? I seriously doubt you could really do without government although it would be interesting to see.

there has been cutting of government spending obama has cut A LOT of federal employee jobs what needs to happen though is we need to cut the DoD and there over bloated budget
I think the cops and firefighters should have never been exempt in the 1st place.
If you're talking about Walker trying to bust the union grip, then......
The only reason Walker exempted them was because he WANTED police and firefighters to VOTE for him in the state. As it turns out, only about 2 districts threw their support behind him, the rest went democrat.
But he was more than happy to bust the teacher's union, and take away some funds for colleges in the state. Among the other things to try to balance the state budget, but even that hasn't worked too well.
You folks talking about Milwaukee here need to keep in mind that Milwaukee receives federal and state $$$$ to provide services for it, and other cities in the state. It operates pretty much like any other state operates.

I don't know where you get your info but, I've says fed employment has gone UP about 14%.
I’m Sheriff David Clarke, and I want to talk to you about something personal: your safety. It’s no longer a spectator sport; I need you in the game. But are you ready?
With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option.
You can beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back, but are you prepared?
Consider taking a certified safety course in handling a firearm so you can defend yourself until we get there.
You have a duty to protect yourself and your family.
We’re partners now, can I count on you?
This safely message brought to you by The Milwaukee County Sheriff’s office.
He's not a democrat. He ran as one to get the vote.
