Along with BP_GUY and his brothers, the military will still be fighting and NOT get paid. But,,, the welfare checks will be sent. Whats wrong with this picture? 60 cents of every dollar the government takes in goes to interest on the deficit. If you all think this shutdown is bad and ugly, just wait. Might take a few years, but you will all see ugly squared. I really want to see this budget reformed. This budget mess is just for the rest of this year, they haven't even talked about next year. If a shutdown is what it takes then so be it. Take notes though, and remember who voted for what and who talked crap next election. Remind them! I don't wish financial hardship on anyone but there is an inevitable meltdown pending. Unless something happens, I'm out of work Monday and NO PAY! I want my country back!
