Well, I still wrench on C-17's for the .gov, so I may be SOL for a minute. Not to worry though, as long as the illegals and the folks on welfare get theirs, I'm cool! Insert sarcasm...

I was discussing the DACA bullshit with a fellow worker today. He heard DACA explained like this Your neighbor's kids sneak into Disney World. Now they expect ( demand ) that Disney provide them free food, healthcare and lodging for as long as they live. |

How about these "representatives" get inconvenienced themselves? They make how much money & still get a limo & driver? I'd do away with that right off. Buy your own car & drive your own ass to work.
Second, Line Item Veto. Isn't it about time? Otherwise we'll just keep having this same problem. |

To help us know what happens if there is a Government shutdown:
Many government programs would continue throughout a shutdown because they don’t need new legislation from Congress to receive funding, but instead automatically get funding as expenses arise. Medicare and Social Security fall into that category. Others get funding from user fees, and thus would avoid shutting down in the case of a lapse in funding. Only the parts of government that are funded through the annual appropriations process — meaning through bills passed by Congress each year — would be subject to the shutdown. Even within that category, many activities will continue because they are judged as necessary for national defense or public safety. But for government services such as the National Park Service, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Environmental Protection Agency, the shutdown would hit workers hard. The military will still go to work. They will not get paid. The border will still be patrolled. They will not be paid. Fire ... folks will still be fighting the fires out west. They will not get paid. The parks will still be open, people won’t get paid. Typically, federal workers receive back pay after the shutdown is over for the time they spent furloughed, although that isn’t required by law. |

We hear that all non-essential workers will be "furloughed".

Shutting down government hurts american citizens so the left can help illegal become democratic voters.
It's simple math. The Dems NEED the dreamers to become citizens so they vote Dem. They don't need or care about the taxpaying citizens who have paid for the dreamers all thier live's here. |

My blood still boils remembering how obama handled his shutdown. He purposely made the public feel the pain to the extent he could. I despise that pos.

I’m waiting, along with about a dozen others, at the Ft. Belvoir satellite pharmacy. Waiting for it to open. Hope it does. I think I’m hearing some activity behind the doors.
Who knows... |

Since this is a standoff over illegal aliens, ICE needs to go on a blitz attack, massive sweeps to pick up illegal aliens that already have final orders of deportation.
Lets put some numbers on the board! |
