[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you sound like a real busybody. Why don't you mind your own business?

I hate this thread, because I feel like it feeds the misconception that government workers are a bunch of overpaid idiots who all fritter away their cash. It's much easier to literally rob working people of their paychecks if you can dehumanize them as somehow not deserving.

The bottom line is that NOBODY should have to dip into their emergency funds because a bunch of elected officials feel like throwing the American people and our economy into the garbage disposal for political gain. I think the cost of this shutdown should be passed directly to the congressional districts that elect any representative who refuses to pass the legislation needed to fund the government.

Unfortunately, I don't even have a vote in Congress, so I am literally without even the most symbolic of recourse.[/quote]

Op here. My friends are the ones who chose to bring me into their business by spending half the evening complaining about about how they will not be able to pay their mortgage if the government shuts down for a week or several weeks. Don't expect me to listen to you complaining about yiour finances for an hour and then have no opinion.[/quote]
