So is this how we will reduce the debt. I have no problem shutting down the government forever. Pay the military and that’s all. Other than that the rest of the can F off.
Breaking: Senate vote fails to pass GOP spending bill, government will shut down
- Thread starter Acer-m14
- Start date
Not every one, emergency essential people still get to work and will just have to wait till the government opens up again to get paid.
Happened to me while I was serving.

Social security checks will stop. Not a good thing for the elderly who paid for it their entire lives.
Organize some extracurricular missions to the dem's homes then. It's what they all deserve.

Fort Drum Soldiers, Families and Civilians,
The federal government "shutdown" will NOT effect our ability to keep you safe, or the installation secure. Fire & Emergency Services, snow removal & security operations will continue, uninterrupted.
There are many things you should know, as we continue to analyze how this will effect us all:
- All active duty personnel will continue to work and accrue pay, but will not be paid until appropriations are enacted.
- All civilians should report to duty as they normally would. At that time they will find out if they are furloughed as part of a "non-excepted" activity. If furloughed they will not accrue pay according to current guidance.
- Child & Youth Services operations WILL CONTINUE.
- DFACs will remain open.
- Gyms will remain open.
- Currently all medical and dental appointments will continue. This could change for routine appointments. Your best bet is to call ahead if you have concerns.
- All leave is cancelled for civilian employees.
- Almost all government travel will be delayed, cancelled or cut short.
- As of right now, the commissary will remain open.
- The PX, gas stations/mini marts, movie theatre and outdoor recreation services will stay open as they do not depend on appropriated funds for operations.
We will continue to update you as the full effects of the "shutdown" are realized. As always, your chain of command or supervisory chain remains your best source for information and guidance should you have specific-to-you or your family questions.
Climb to Glory!

Yes, I thought they would, which means my mother wont lose her SSI which is good. I wasn't positive if it would affect it or not.

Kidding.
Is it true that Congress still gets paid?
My suggestion?
Since they cannot do their jobs, not only should they NOT get paid, but any costs of running the .gov while they are having their temper tantrum be charged DIRECTLY TO THEM!
Let them pay out of pocket for fucking things up.

I believe Congress does get paid. I went through this before and it's not a big deal. (military) Most likely won't get my military retirement check but I'll survive if it goes on a long time, but I doubt it will make it into the next pay period. Gillibrand is noticeably quiet and shumeroid is in a corner now. We should all be calling his office and telling him/her what an @$$hole they are
You will get your retirement check. What to know about a government shutdown

Yes it is in the constitution in both article 1 section 6 and amendment 27
Every election cycle it's the same shit. You can almost predict when and what is going to happen. Idiotic rallies to energize the base, people pitted against each other, government shut down, grandstanding politicians pretending they give a fuck about anyone besides themselves and their corrupt party. What's even worse we are indoctrinated to believe, we need to spread this nitwitary around the world.

It just occurred to me that I prolly won't be getting my military disability stipend. Does it accrue?

Yes. And if no one has mentioned it in a while, thank you for your service.
Well, I don't depend on it. It helps but it's only $550 a month. 2 months and there's my Trijicon scope I guess.

I saw that Illegals get nearly $4000.00 per month under the Federal Assistance Program. I wonder if they will have to wait for their checks and services .... this time.
That is fucking horseshit. If I'm lucky that's what I'll see in a month, and I bust my ass for it!

I am with you. And the captain obvious worst part is that it is not the government's money, it is the tax dollars of people busting their ass day after day that bankrolls the progressive left snowballing handouts. I will never understand the hoops and bureaucracy most vets have to jump through to see some earned benefits compared the the almost concierge service for handouts.
