    It costs more to close the National Parks then it does to keep them open.

    I'd be first in line to challenge the competency of some (okay, many, if not most) in Congress, but what does a worldwide test with no methodology in the article have to do with anything?

    I am sorry to read this. As this goes on longer, there will be more people like you brother. Hopefully he will be able to go back to work soon.
