Opinions on the impending Govt shutdown?
- Thread starter Blanca BusaLess
- Start date
If I'm not mistaken there is a law on file that Congressmen must be paid, so the real question is what will they do with the money..... If there is a law on file which I am sure there is (Because some other congress years ago wanted to make sure they never went without) then each Congressmen should take that money and donate it to a cause somewhere and be very public about it...
I'm sure their paychecks are auto deposited into their accounts. I doubt they do the paperwork to change that, so their grandiose public statements about not taking it is BS. I'm with you Cap, they should have to donate it. How about putting all of itinto a fund to pay our Military Families' housing while they aren't getting paid for their service.

What I want to know is under what print in the contract that I signed says that I will have to report if I am not getting paid? This is not a dictatorship and slavery im sure was out lawed sometime ago. I wasnt born yesterday. I will have no sympathy for the life long politicians who are only concerned with themselves. They make way too much money but will they take a pay cut, hell no they wont. AMERICA WAKE UP. It is time for change get off the couch and get out there and speak your mind. Oh wait, if it dosent affect you then who cares right? This is sad that we have become this lazy or bitter. I say revamp and restructure the whole damn thing. But no we would rather pay Stars and Athletes stupid sums of money for doing things that in respect are fairly simple to do. I am in that less than 1% of the population and am damn proud of it. I have and always will love my country, but you fools running it need to get a life. I have deployed 2 times, if I am going to be treated like that i am useless then to hell with it.
1.Rule passion - faith - tradition - and all things with tempered reason.
2.Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
3.Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
4.Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
5.Balance personal rights with social duties.

My opinion is that the threat of a shutdown is simply the work of the Democrats, trying to force the Republicans to pass a budget that they (the GOP) don't want.
Since nearly all Government "workers" vote Democrat, they are always used by the Democrats as willing accomplices in their endless struggle to turn the USA into the USSA.

We got word today that we're only going to be gettin 1/2 paychecks next week.. after that it's still up in the air.. Guess we'll wait and see.
An hour to go they make a deal ???
Of course they made a 'deal'
All hype for nothing.
The news orgs are genuinely sad they don't have another big story to talk about.
