Government Shutdown

[oldno7]

can I go with 5? 10 seems like- so far up there, How could I ever be calm enough for that.

Actually, I'm really calm, had a decent day earning a living, sitting at my house--+$3141.66 how was your day?

ooops--I lied, hadn't gotten the price on a mutual fund in until it settled, +$3231.16

Sorry for the confusion

Now I better go check my other 2 accts.

others up $216.83

No stress here and I can't get past 5 counting, why do you make such difficult demands--oh legal one?

Looks like we are gonna have to start calling Pelosi, "Neutering Nancy", since she now owns Trumps balls.

Unfortunately you can't win them all... I guess we'll have to see how round two shakes out.

Pelosi won this battle but it's going to be a long war. Pelosi didn't get to where she is by being stupid or weak.

the invasion of the USA by Mexico and Central America can
now continue unabated.

I think we should have buses on our side as well.

Load them up and take them to San Francisco and NY city(their choice) and have sanctuary.

I don't think Trump took a hit on this at all. In fact, I think it was a smart move. Every time I try to guess what he's going to do, he does something else. But it's always the right thing.

He didn't buy three weeks, the Dems did. Now he'll give his SOTU speech and mollywhollop 'em. I reckon.

It's a noble claim, and I agree with her but sadly most on the left are too far gone. It's not about serving country now. Instead it's all about amassing power and beating Trump at all costs.

Really what this country needs is another 911 - something that will motivate us to put politics aside and treat each other like human beings again.

Indeed...but apparently many of them still live paycheck to paycheck. The last few days had lots of stories of so many having to hit "food banks" to get by. Talk about going thru life just skimming above the bottom.

Isn't that something? One paycheck missed and everything is in turmoil. Back when I finally had a job that payed a few bucks more than min. wage I began to save money. Starting pay of gov. workers is better than that, right?

Seems like a "livable wage" would be simply more money to spend.

People are not poor because they don't have money, people are poor because they don't know how to manage money.

It's sad that schools don't require at least one semester of a personal finance class to graduate. Most high school and even college graduates have no clue how to manage money or understand the power of compound interest.

How much money was your paycheck this week? Spend it until it's gone is not a sound financial strategy.

Anyone remember the housing crisis of 07?

Millions upon millions of construction workers couldn't find work and most of them wanted too.

I didn't see free handouts, no free food, no grace periods on rent, they sucked it up and despite some folks best efforts, they lost everything!

Why are government workers so protected and pandered to?

They make on the average 30-50% more money than a similar job in the private sector.

Mostly what was shown on alphabet tv was people who work for the government are incapable of money management.

Maybe to big to fail, kinda like GM, who is now going under again...

^^^This is one of my pet bitches...

A guy can have a successful small business for 20 years and the government sucks every penny they can out of the business for 20 years... and then the guy hits a bad year or two like 2008 and he loses the business, while the government still continues to suck it's share out of the business.... where if the government had of offered many of those small business a hand up, or simply removed their hand from the guys pocket for a year, many of those small business would have survived and would again be feeding the government's enormous financial suck again.
