Two weeks before the Debt Limit deadline, the President should institute an "Extraordinary Measure" and close all federal offices in the "Red States" that voted for a shutdown in the past and whose Senators and Congressional Representatives are pushing for a shutdown now. The President should give a televised speech on all networks and say something kike this:
"Effective immediately, all federal offices and services are shut down in the states whose Senators and Congressional Representatives voted to force the United States into default. These offices will remain shut down so long as the threat remains."
"The United States Does Not Negotiate with Hostage Takers or Blackmailers."
"You have one week from today to cease threatening the Full Faith and Credit in the Debt of the United States. After one week the General Services Administration will begin the orderly sale of all office furnishings and real estate for the federal offices that are shutdown. When that happens, the shutdowns will be Permanent."
This shutdown will have significant effects on the economy of your states:
1) No International Flights to or from your Airports
2) No international Shipping at your Seaports
3) No Border Crossings; All Borders will be Closed
4) No Passports issued at your Post Offices
5) No Federal Funds for your Highways
6) No Federal Funds for your Farms
7) No Federal Funds for Dams, Levees, Ports or Bridges
8) No Federal Grants or Loans for your local Businesses
If you let this threat go on longer than two weeks, more serious consequences will go into effect:
1) No Federal Courts; All criminal cases will be relocated to another district court;
All civil cases will be suspended indefinitely.
2) No Federal Assistance from the FBI, DEA, DOJ or any Federal Law Enforcement Agency.
3) No Federal Funds at all except for Food Stamps, Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
"If you force an actual default, all federal payments will stop for your states First."
"And you can expect me to be on national television, every day, on every network, on every news program, Naming Names and Placing Blame on each and every one who is responsible for the shutdown."
