they're not just closed for vets, they're closed for everybody.  the fact is that legally they cant be open, unless of course those who order them to be opened are willing to go to jail.  a lot of places are closed, they're not going to be closed forever and some people need to be patient.

that's what happens when the budget runs out of money.


semp
so the last 17 times the government shut down and the open air memorials stayed open,  who was acting illegally ?
? Not to mention the traffic cones on the shoulder of the highway around Mount Rushmore so you can't stop and take pictures?
 Manned parks must be closed,
open air memorials that require little to no maintenance , require labor intensive efforts to close, who ok'd that?
Who spent more time and money closing parks and or monuments than it would have cost to leave them open for the first time in recent history?  Law or not,, this time is different, someone made that call, someone inconvenienced the citizens and veterans of this country on purpose! I wonder who? Why? And what they thought they would gain?
But please don't answer, no need too!
Flying since tour 71.

do a bit of research and look up the 1800's law.  when there's no budget you cant spend money, it is as simple as that.  and the law was passed to stop people from spending money they dont have.  and if they spend money without a budget then they go to jail.  it's as simple as that, it's been all over the news look it up :).


semp

 then how've they been spending money for the last 5 years?

From the pictures, it appears that there were only a few hundred people at most.

Sen Rob Maness said there were "several thousand" with him there.

Continuing Resolution. Basically operates as a budget.
