We've heard that the shutdown will affect tax refunds

[question everything]

thus, I wonder whether it also affects collection of taxes. Without revenue the government will shut down.

And, honestly, I wish that this were a full shutdown, so everyone, not just federal employees and contractors will feel it. And I would start with the secret service for the Trump spawns. And airport operations so that even he cannot fly.

And cut disability payments for the deplorable on which many depend and then see how long it will last.

Yes, we need the Social Security checks but will manage, for awhile, eat beans and rice instead of fresh produce and chicken. But under these conditions, it will end, soon.

84% of Republicans support him! Wait until they cannot fly home and hear cries of help from their constituents.

1. What if poeple like me, cannot eat beans nor white rice?

Thank God I can still eat popcorn with some butter and light shake of salt. Though my bowels will be in an uproar if I eat too much of it in a day.

2. How do suggest people on soc security cut down on rent?

From what I understand, most people on sov security use the entire monthly amount on needed purchases.

My friend barely makes it with niece's soc security disability payment.

Cut that, and they're out on the street.

Friend and niece 200% democrats.

[question everything]

3. I suspect that if SS will be cut, that the government will be opened within 24 hrs

We need more deplorables to realize what they are missing.

4. I spoke to one of my two Coast Guard sons this morning.

He said there are no patrols, no boats out in the water because of fuel
shortages. No training, very little activity. He said that if there were to be a real
emergency (rescue needed) that they could respond but everything is on hold.
He got paid on the first and is unsure if he will on the 15th.

5. Well, that sure is making us safer

[smirkymonkey]

6. Fucking disaster.

This is insane. He needs to be removed from office asap.

[question everything]

7. And what bothers me is that so many, even on these pages look at it

nonchalantly. Oh, it will end soon; workers will be paid. But not the contract workers.

Also, many TSA officers now take "sick leave." Why bother when you are not paid?

But until the Republicans will start complaining to their reps, nothing will happen.
