[AUDIO] @AllenWest on the Government Shutdown
LT. COL. ALLEN WEST weighed in on the government shut down. West said that this is a great time to start looking at what is essential in the government. “What are the priorities of the federal government?” West asked. He went on to state that 6.6 percent of the EPA was deemed essential, which is a little over 1,000 of the 16,000 people. “This is a great time for us to start looking and saying ‘What can we do to trim back the government?’”
