The Wall. The Shutdown

[Pistol Packing Preacher]

Will the 'shut down' affect the SS checks?

Everything I’ve read says that SS and VA will still get paid as they’re funded through something different.

[CS1983]

VA and SS are already funded. No effect on them.

[flogger]

Gun needs to point the other way: If they can't pass a budget, then prior funding levels for all agencies is automatically extended while new elections are held to fill ALL 435 of the vacant congressional seats, with a 90 day period after they sit a new house of reps to pass a new budget.

Yep. Fire the WHOLE LOT and get some actual brains in there instead of those career politician bloodsuckers. Pitiful situation brought on by pitiful people.

[brutal]

I still can't for the life of me understand how the fat cats that are supposed to be representing the people they were elected to serve, continue to get paid. There's very few of them, excepting perhaps some newly elected Congressional grass roots juniors, but certainly not one single Senator, that need the money to pay their bills.

That's the kicker, those who have don't care about anyone else.

Pelosi talks about the needs of the middle class, how she understands their plight. Yeah Like her or her husband ever dropped below the $100K annual salary. Not counting lobbyist and off the record donations.

Trump had a silver spoon in his crib

Ol Harry Reid, Clinton, the list goes on.

If you're not a multi-millionaire when you get elected to Congress, you are when you leave.

Hmmm. I wonder where the money comes from?

From everyone who expects something from you...and they often get it.




But you knew that didn't you?

I've got a flight scheduled Tuesday (return Thursday) for work.. hope TSA times aren't insane, I really don't want to spend 3hrs at the airport.

I just flew in from Honolulu last night/this morning. TSA at Honolulu was not only fully manned, since it was a late-ish flight (10:30 PM), there was NObody in line. I could have been through the checkpoint in 2 mins even without pre-check.

DIA was fine 1/6/19 as I flew out.
