I'd like to see you respond to the post above yours, since you have the ability to empathize and all.

Did you whine when coal miners lost their jobs thanks to Obama's regulations ?
If you want to play the whataboutism game then try this one:
I didn't see you thanking Obama for bailing out the American auto industry and saving thousands of jobs.

Stop viewing the world through the narrow lens of your circumstance and understand that there are some people in different circumstances than you.
And more times than not these people in dire paycheck to paycheck circumstances will whip out their Iphone X to correct all these high rollers with a savings account and financial sense.
It’s just like my wife’s cousin who constantly bitches about not being able to get ahead. While driving her 2nd car in two years, sitting near her husbands new camper, in his new metal building to house it. And the post will be right above their pictures to Disney world with their kids along with their son’s travel ball pictures and daughters cheer camp pictures.
I don’t care how much you make.. you plan, you save, and you budget. I just laugh at people who tell me they just can’t kick in the 3, 4, or 5 percent or so to get to the maximum amount their employer will match in a 401k. They are giving away money so they can piss it away on stupid stuff.
I’m sorry .. but if someone can’t miss ONE check without financial distress... I don’t care who you are... it’s time for a re-evaluation of your finances.

Private industry workers are more important than federal government employees. That is an undisputable fact.

It's actually not directly affecting me yet. So before you assume something you should probably gather a basis for your reasoning. I actually, unlike many so called compassionate conservatives, have to ability to empathize with others who are being hurt.
You also don't have the ability to survive without the government pumping our money into your economy, so you have more in common with people that have no fiscal responsibility.

I empathize with coal workers the same way I empathize with elevator operators.

He paid for that himself?

I’m going to work with deferred pay, and I’ve contacted both my senators and congressman. Thanks again for yet another lecture
You need to contact the Democrat senators. Not necessarily your own. Sorry for the lecture but you seem a little uptight, understandably so. And if you are uptight, and work for the FAA, you may consider seeking a calmer, less stressful, more serene career move. That's is my humble opinion being a frequent air Traveler.
Again, thank you for your service.

I just know that if my company was trillions in debt I’d be missing more than just a couple of paychecks.

Yeah, the Trump supporters profiled in this piece are really irresponsible:

Why would i thank Obama for using my money to bail out failing companies? Sometimes, companies need to fail.

You're equating government getting in the way of private industry with government propping up private industry?
God you really are the quintessential government leech aren't you?

BTW, tell the members of the Coast Guard who will miss their checks to go find another profession.
Way to rebuild the military....

Anyone else notice the pivot from "the wall doesn't work" to purely emotional now? This is how you know the left is losing the narrative.
"Walls don't work", "Waste of money", to "but think of the fed gov workers who haven't been paid today".

Yes if you believe is a free market. DC doesn't have marketable skills so he needs handouts.

Bailing? You, my friend are ill-equipped with knowledge on this subject. (Waiting for next search and link provoked with commentary from the democrat loving writer of said piece)

Oh, so I see you oppose Farm Subsidies.

Funny, Amazon is moving right down the street.
In addition to my property value increasing, competition for my skills will likely increase my wage value.
But yeah, DC is just a government welfare area.

Absolutely. Especially when they're given to people that don't even intend to farm the land and haven't farmed it in years. Do you really think everyone relies as strongly on the government as you?

It mostly is. Especially when you see their retarded residents bragging about how great the government bail out of the auto industry was. Congrats on gaming the system, living paycheck to paycheck, and only surviving because of redistribution of others wealth.
