They don't have a budget because voters are stupid.

It goes like this:

1. A real budget contains items that can be extracted and blown up into a TV ad by their next opponent in their next campaign.

2. The ad cannot be refuted by explaining how out of context it is. Because...

3. Voters are too stupid to understand context.

Well, you have found one who is adversely affected by the government shutdown that you're so happy about. Come Monday, you will have a job to go to while I will not. I don't care about the theatrics or posturing and I do blame both sides of the aisle. They are more concerned about party lines than the average American whom they can't relate to. So, please enjoy your happiness about those of us who are being given an unexpected unpaid vacation for the duration of this idiotic shutdown.


I hope for your sake this is resolved quickly and I’m sure it will be.
Loss of employment is a fact of life for most people at some point in their career however, especially in the private sector. Due to a Medicare change in payment my entire industry was nearly wiped out a couple years ago. A team of government bean counters, with the stroke of a pen, cut thousands of jobs over night. Bureaucracy is a fickle bitch.

Dude is such a cuck that he won’t blame the party that chose illegals over food and shelter for his family.

I really don't care if you feel sorry for me or not..thanks though. And yes, I do work for the FAA in Baton Rouge but am not an essential employee who is exempt from the furlough should it happen. I have read that we should get back pay but it's not guaranteed.

Email Chuck

We didn't cause it and at this point we can't fix it. This dude can.

I'll say this though, I prefer the shutdown to Chuck getting his way on immigration because HE played fast and loose with YOUR wellbeing. I'm almost sure he's still getting paid as well.
