Republicans are not allowed to blow up the government to get rid of a law, says commentator, writer, actor, and presidential speech writer Ben Stein.
“Shutting down the government is no way to run a railroad,” said Stein as keynote speaker during the E.G. Lassiter Lecture Series at the NAPSLO Annual Convention in San Diego.
“Let's stop being children and walking away from the sandbox with our toys, not wanting to play anymore,” continued Stein, a speech writer for Presidents Nixon and Ford.
