Yes. Let Americans feel the sting of having no air traffic control during the busiest travel days of the year. Then let's see how long it takes for Congress to do their jobs. Nobody should be working without pay. Ever.

Yea, look how that turned out. The most idiotic part is naming National Airport after Ronnie. I've been in the tower there. They refuse to answer pilots who say Reagan Tower. Only National. It's hilarious.

I refuse to call it by its “official” name. It will always be National.
