Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The government shutdown is being felt close to home for some locals. They say they're being forced out of private homes on Lake Mead because they sit on federal land.
Joyce Spencer is 77-years-old and her husband Ralph is 80. They've been spending most of their time in the family ice cream store since going home isn't an option.
The Spencers never expected to be forced out of their Lake Mead home, which they've owned since the 70s, but on Thursday, a park ranger said they had 24 hours to get out.
"I had to go to town today and buy Ralph undershirts and jeans because I forgot his pants," Joyce Spencer told Action News.
The Stewart's Point home sits on federal land, so even though the Spencers own their cabin outright, they're not allowed in until the government reopens.
Park officials said property owners can visit only to retrieve belongings; they sent Action News a statement which reads in part, "Unfortunately overnight stays are not permitted until a budget is passed and the park can reopen."
Joyce Spencer said she's alright in the meantime, staying with nearby family, but the move was a lot to handle as a senior citizen.

"I had to be sure and get his walker and his scooter that he has to go in," Spencer said. "We're not hurt in any way except it might cost me if I have to go buy more pants."

The Lake Mead properties are considered vacation homes; one of the lease requirements to own a plot is people must have an alternative residence.

Regardless, the Spencers said it's their property and they should be allowed in, shutdown or not.

This is a perfect example of a vindictive administration that is out of control.

It matters not if you live in a city or 500 miles from one or the closest federal reserve (e.g., memorial or park).

Stop paying your (perpetual) property taxes on your house (that you've already bought and been repeatedly taxed on since you paid for it), and SEE WHO REALLY OWNS IT.

Hint: It is NOT you.

Hint #2: It is owned by the Obamacare ENFORCERS

Obama Kicking Senior Citizens Out of Their Homes Because of Shutdown

Posted on October 6, 2013 by BMartin1776

Here is another example of Barry Soetoro’s policy to ‘Make Life as Difficult for Americans as They Can’. Kicking elderly people out of their privately owned homes on government land. What services are being cut off as a result of the shutdown to people who own their homes outright?
The emperor is all for punishing the people of America for the lack of action or should I say obedience in Congress. The House has passed a CR that funded government to prevent all these closures. It is Harry Reid and Barack Obama who have chosen this route.
Those of you that sat home Nov 6 2012 are you happy? This IS what you wanted you got it. You chose not to vote because Mitt Romney wasn’t the perfect candidate so not to vote is to vote. And you not voting was in fact a vote for Obama and this mess. This is as much YOUR FAULT as it is Congress.
