Gov't Shutdown: Will it really affect you?

[mcantar18c]

DId you know with all the budget cutting and all the crap going on.
Did you know that the White House budget actual increased.
Muslins and illegals get more, Americans get less, and will eventually get to pay the check

Sources?

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

[sniper7]

welcome to the new socialist monarchy comrade patrick!

Yeah...I'm still waiting for a Fed tax return, too.

And waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

IRS stated no refunds will be sent, however if you owe you will have to pay on time..

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.

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.

what cracks me up about them shutting the government down, is that it actually doesn't save that much money if it saves any at all. They do the same thing in Hawaii, public workers get 2 furlough fridays a month to help "save money". Most of them are salaried workers and get paid regardless of if they are there or not. Besides, all the workers being told not to go to work just collect their check when they go back in to work. So I fail to see how this will solve anything?

Considering the stock market hasn't shown any freak out, I think it will all be ok. Nothing really happened the last time this came about anyway so no big worry.

This. I think the shutdown is more of a bluff than anything. But eh. We will see.


edit: so reading more about it now. the posts that will be closed will just have saturdays off. so you mean they will have a normal weekend like normal people? why did they work saturdays anyway?

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