Federal Govt. expecting shutdown on APRIL 9TH
Do you really think this is gonna happen? Or this just a another media scare? Thoughts?

What? There is a government?
 Shut down would not do anything! It is the false left/right dichotomy that is playing with the American peoples minds. Who really is our overlords? The system of usury... dishonest money. We are in a world of new technocratic economic serfdom. We are all learning to be in debt... it's good for you. "What's in your wallet?" Cheers!

I thought politics were not allowed to be discussed. I see this going bad really fast.

Yeah, guys, no [Bush] [Obama] bashing or whatever, please, these threads piss off everybody and before you know it everybody starts fighting, no good !!
 So what happened last time the government shut down? Funny but I don't remember at all. Do we still get mail? What about our tax returns, does this mean we're all getting automatic extensions?

This effects the ppl of Puerto Rico, thus far there are more than 45000 ppl that where let go from Government jobs and more to be let go through this non sense. Its sad because the majority of all Government workers have family's etc and that will hit them even more sometimes I wished I lived somewhere else, me being a Brooklyn native this pisses me off big time cause I to work for the Government.

Exactly. Nothing's gonna happen.
And my apologies if this was headed into a heated political debate. Honestly, no harm meant

I'd like to know what the affect of the last government shutdown was I'm too young to remember. The thing that alarms me the most is our military not getting paid fully and on time, its a dumb move to put our budget off for so long that we have to shutdown the government.

Ok let's move this more into a point. All this its happening because of whats going on with the economy which BTW I think it's just doing ok,not how we all and they all want it but just ok. So there for to make up and save on payroll and other things (unknown) they are willing to shut down federal paying jobs. Why? Idk and who gets affected the most is the people that are actually working for their hard earn money to provide for their family.
NOW that been said, how many of you knows how much does a politician gets paid? How many of you knows how much soldiers get paid? Not to mention the huge bonus you get when you get deployed. Do you know how much the US spends a year in supplies, wages and payroll? I understand supplies they need it. My point is the US military has nothing to look for over seas any more or at least not as many there is over there, think on how much we could save and have available when you return most of them people specially high rank officers that all they do is sit in their office or tents doing nothing while the low paid soldier/airman/marines or seal is busting his or hers chops or even getting killed the millions of $ we could save from having to send supplies let alone the fuel for planes to transport it which is not cheap AT ALL, bottom point retrieve excessive militants that could be enjoying time with their families witch I am sure they would value that more then a big bonus on their check. Cut wages to politicians that are just abusing of their authority and power using private jets, getting vehicles at government expenses or even better get that person replaced with someone that actually DO care because they been there and know how it is. Think of the millions if not BILLIONS OR TRILLIONS the government would have to count with if needed by doing so but hey what do I know I am just 26 yo who is just starting with life.
