Author	Thread: A government shutdown, that sounds great to me!
justTravis View Profile History	A government shutdown, that sounds great to me! Posted : 29 Sep, 2025 07:13 PM Most people could easily stand the goverment being shutdown for a year. One of the odd things is that the entire idea behind elected representation is so that everyday people do not have to spend our time babysitting the issues...so many of the elected representatives have already failed. Why would I want to spend more money so that the crazy 'representatives' can come to there senses? Post Reply

Posted : 30 Sep, 2025 04:43 PM This time its diffrent...I am currently unsure why, but as can be seen things are diffrent. https://kutv.com/news/nation-world/over-100000-federal-workers-to-resign-tuesday-amid-looming-government-shutdown-trump-administration-management-and-budge-employment-doge-elon-musk-government-congress-republicans-democrats-lay-offs In 2018-19 the government shut down for 34 days.

Posted : 3 Oct, 2025 04:59 AM Things are and will be different with this shutdown because President Donald John Trump is at the helm, but exactly in what ways remains to be seen. Worker layoffs might mean they don't get paid for the time the shutdown is in effect. That would be different from when previous shutdowns where everybody got got pay as if they were just on vacation once the shutdown was over. Post Reply
WalkNTalk View Profile History	A government shutdown, that sounds great to me! Posted : 3 Oct, 2025 08:28 PM People have bills to pay. Some live from check to check. It places some in a bad situation to not have their income to pay their bills when they have no money saved for emergencies and live check to check. Trump can lose support that way. I voted for Trump, but his approach on tariffs and talk of tariffs cost me thousands. Some cannot stomach these things well. Post Reply
