I echo this sentiment...not that I like what's being taken...but I digress.

Here we go...

Air Force sucked anyways.

 

[TheChief]

Warn me before you type something like that. I almost spewed Diet Dr. Pepper.

 

[PhillyGirl]

Thank you, incompetent politicians. The fact that those clowns still get paid today (despite the rest of the federal employees not being paid, like my dad) is crazy.

We should have Congress play a football game versus Air Force :icon_thumright:

If they spent as much time trying to cut expenses and be Constitutionally authentic as they do seeking the most visible inconveniences to inflict upon the public, prodigal spending and the national debt would be under control.

SO?

Hey, as long as Barry continues to get his gold level insurance along with the other politicians it'll be worth it. As long as Barry and his wife get to take their 45th vacation in six years it'll be worth it.

This is is as pathetic as it comes. Yeah, take it all away from the kids and men that will eventually be putting their life on the line for you and this country. These asshole politicians are still receiving their salary and their overtime is still getting paid. I'd right hook any of these people given the chance, especially Nancy "Frankenstein" Pelosi.

All the government employees who are off right now will be back-paid, demonstrating that they weren't doing anything while they were at "work" anyway. But back to the teams - if the service academies cancel games, Notre Dame may not reach the six win threshold to go bowling. :smiley-confused-pur

 

[planomateo]

Yeah after year, our government shows us how inept they are, swap our republicans for democrats, democrats for republicans, tea party for republicans/democrats...it doesn't really matter, the system is broke and it has been for years. The people are gonna have to demand a change, but not the Obama kinda change, a much larger change.

Limit their terms, limit their ability to land in similar jobs post political career, limit their pay/benefits.

But hey, my 401k is kicking ass right now...

 

[planomateo]

So USAA insurance company is picking up the tab for this...
