The Wall. The Shutdown

[hurley842002]

Regular pay was already made good, no?

It's just the OT pay from the lawsuit that hasn't yet been paid (assuming one opted-in?)

I don't mean to diminish your plight, just throwing out some facts here.

Correct, everyone received their regular paycheck, nobody has received any of the settlement money.

...in response to CHA-LEE's post #31. I don't want the wrong person to get their feelers hurt.

They don't know your refund if you didn't file a return.

Bingo! Over 5 years they took almost $20k from us over a mistake they made. We did get it back...without the ability to charge the IRS interest and penalties like they did to us.

I hold the IRS in the same regard as the TSA. They're government sanctioned criminals.

So... I thought Mexico was going to pay for the wall?

In one way or another. Anyone who thought or thinks the phrase "Mexico will pay for it" means they were actually going to write a check is an airhead.

If we get more money out of Mexico through better trade deals, then they paid for it. If we save money because the illegals stay there and don't drain our system, then they paid for it. Classic Trump. Keep it vague.

Hell, if the go fund me raises the money and gives it to the Feds, it would still need to be "funded" in the budget.

No matter where the money comes from...savings, tariffs or personal check written to the Feds, the funding for the wall would still need to be put in the budget by Congress.

Then you hear about Government workers filing for unemployment after only 2 weeks of the government being shutdown.

I haven't gotten a paycheck since before the shutdown started and have been working 11 hour days in the private sector. Should I file for unemployment too?

Yup, I'm sure plenty of them are included in that.

Hey, at least some good is coming of this: https://www.wnd.com/2019/01/seattles...cat_orig=money

Unconstitutional violators of the 4th amendment threaten to quit their commie union job. Hooray!

Who doesn't. The issue may be the weather that's moving across the country.
