They have to ram this tax scam through before the scoring comes out. It will bury our grandchildren in Chinese-owned debt for a generation.

Yes, I think it will pass. America is screwed.

I didn't think it would. I didn't think we'd have a shutdown, either.

Da**it. Car just broke down, just replaced two appliances in the kitchen. This is a bad time for a shutdown for us. At least we've already finished the Christmas shopping.

CBO already scored the House version and said it would add nearly 1.7 trillion to the debt. And, unless you are already rich, it's for no good reason whatsoever.

Trump loves debt and intends to settle it for pennies on the dollar, remember?

But don't you get back pay for the days you were off? My friend told me she's looking forward to a vacation.

I have a feeling we will monetize the debt.

Congress needs to decide if federal employees get back pay. They always have in the past - but who knows. Federal contractors do not get back pay as far as I understand.

There is no anti-deficit faction in the Senate. The deficit is just something Senators cluck about when the other side is in control.

Nope, we can only PTO or if you have none, you get no pay.
