Looming Government Shutdown (again)

[Gman]

Take the money and special bennies out of government. You want to "serve your country" in DC, you get an Army Sgt's pay and housing. You get your health benefits at the VA. It's already your Constitutional duty to have a budget every year, yet you don't obey. If the government isn't funded, neither are you.

It's all BS grandstanding. The feds are only "funding" 10 out of every 12 months each year anyway. Yet some how they still pay everyone.

That said, the single largest employer in American could stand to reduce it's staff by a few.

PS - what do you want to bet that we don't see the NPS fence off un-staffed parks this time? Or shutdown roads? Or any of the other "make it hurt" bullshit we saw the Dems do in 2013?

How about probably hundreds of thousands of dollars in emergency printing fees for the signs...

[sampson]

Let all non-essential Personnel have some time off government is too bloated anyway.. government shutdown scare just another way of them raising the credit limit.. just my two cents

[ben4372]

Isn't this part of the deal we made when we let the government get so big. I'm sorta surprised we have so many people directly impacted by this. I'll rub my lucky rabbit foot and hope the best for you all.

[hobowh]

Yup!

Some of us will still be working with no pay check, not that many will care, because .gov workers and all that.

Right there with you, got to love being an excepted employe...

[TheGrey]

Those of you that will be working without a paycheck during this time, I hope the furlough doesn't last long. The freaking politicians may not apprecate what you do, but there are many of us that do.

[WETWRKS]

And...we are in shutdown.

[crays]

Speak for yourself. My life hasn't changed at all... YET.
