Gov't Shutdown: Will it really affect you?

[patrick0685]

If this happens my family will have ZERO income, stress level is high.

Mine wont be at zero but might as well be, out of my immediate family 3 outta 5 work in some aspect work for the government

i hate to sound like the welfare leach, but as long as my VA check comes, i dont care.

There's a reason you get them, for that I thank you.

[Fried Chicken Blowout]

I would feel bad for those that did their service for the country and then won't get their pay check during this time.

However, I don't need the federal government for pretty much anything on a short term scale like this might be. So they can go take a few days off and I'll be just fine.

I'm glad I filed earlier this year. That check came and went. I'm kinda like some other folks though and I wonder if my gi bill will be put on hold. I like having that supplement right now. Isn't this supposed to start up tomorrow? I haven't followed it as much as I should.

I was just about to make a large ammo purchase too. I'll hold off on that for now.

[ghettodub]

So I'm curious if I'm missing something. Is this a big deal or is it simply political posturing by both sides.

^ yup

[ronaldrwl]

Yes, it may help save my country

its all BS anyways. what was it 65 or 80 billion out of 3.5 trillion. if it was something like 1 trillion or 1.5 then I might get excited. but it isn't going to happen.

if they want to stop some things, they should pull our troops, protect our borders, stop giving to other countries who don't give anything back to the taxpayers.

just a political stunt by the republicans. last time they did this it bit them a bit.

at this point, let obama continue to fuck it up and hope we rid ourselves of him next year. that is what needs to happen. plus...I need to get my federal tax refund back and cashed before this all goes down

After the first part of what you say, do you think if we elect a Republican it'll be any different?

I agree with you there. that's why I re-registered independent.

Admit it.. you just want to vote against Obama in the Dem- primary. Go for Dem instead.
