Shutdown likely.

All this would have been avoided if the dems would have had the balls to pass a budget last year... But instead, knowing it would have led to a bad defeat (even though they got their @sses handed to them anyways) they punted...

If we are attacked during government shutdown please use your own missiles!LOL

Well said Cabinetmaker! Oh and one (a budget) that doesn't add $1 Trillion to our nation's debt in one year.

Apparently I live under a rock, WTF is going on??

Fortunately my contract is already funded through the next 3 months, but I'm willing to miss some time from work if it led us closer to a balanced budget ammendment. I don't understand what the dems are fighting for. We don't have the money to spend!!!! What more do you need to know?

The one big plus to a government shutdown... The less they do, the less they can f*cj up! this goes for both parties, all branches, and each and every agency!

If that's the case, I appologize for my harshness. That is the reason I thought about what I said, and didn't just expletive expletive expletive, all over the place. But I still feel the way I do about it. I appreciate your offer of assistance, but being older and wiser than I was when this happened to me the first time (2003 (Bush )), I know better than to depend on the government for my financial welfare during a deployment. Its the younger guys I'm worried about. They didn't even see it coming,

I saw the all branched thing and completely dismissed the branches of government.

Had and E6 tell me we had better get some information on how its gonna be fixed because all the info he has says he was paid through today, and where he comes from no pay equals no work. Can't really argue with his logic. However, I was also told I'd have every federal holliday off, and I can't count the number of Christmases and Thanksgivings I've enjoyed in the company of dirt and a rifle, or better yet mud and a rifle. Yet as senior noncoms it is our job to keep the masses motivated, inculcate them with knowledge and pride, and lead them on to victory. How do we do that if we can't promise to provide for their families welfare? After ten years of this I am begining to see why all my mentors said the last ten years is the worst, because you know all of the crap you have to go through for the next ten.

Ha, that's funny. This wouldn't have happened if the Tea buggers and GOP weren't dumb as rocks. Oh and they got their asses kicked? Well yes and a lot of crappy one's got booted (more to go btw) but what you got were people who don't know crap about govt and how it is suppose to work. Instead you got more of what the GOP wants, that's to make the govt fail even more to push for a total fascist state. Dude really? I think the dems did a smart thing, let the gop look like fools. Cutting critical services is not the way while giving huge breaks to the top. Oh and I didn't hear you blasting the GOP from stopping countless votes on ending oil subsidies to bp/exxon and the others. I didn't hear you blasting the gop for adding more money to our deficit by pushing the tax extension for the 2 percent. The list can go and on. FACT is they are the one's who are causing this.

no you u should be mad, I would this whole thing is crap. btw many dem senators tried passing a bill that if the shutdown happens they and the congress wouldn't be paid but boenher shelved that. So it's okay for you and many other people to not get paid and lose their jobs but not for him and his ilk.

Yes yes, all of our representatives behave like petty silly children, all parties included, they always have and we've always known this was the case. The failure here is that we normally elect a STRONG LEADER as president who can make them behave. Now what we have is a president who is a limp d!ck worthless piece of slow-acting, overly-analytical nonsense wrapped in a fast-melting candy-coating made of hope and transparency, and he can't do a DAMN thing. He's simultaneously unable to stand up to other world leaders (his peers) and his subordinate congressmen and senators. Get him the hell out of there.
