Well, Rush said at the end of his show that SSI will still be paid out. Along with the fact that Obama is trying to CUT money to Military members-which in turn hurts Military FAMILIES. This just pisses me off, and I would actually GLADLY give part of my SSI check to a military family to aid them. They sacrifice, and sacrifice so that their husbands/wives can keep civilians like myself safe from every nasty threat out there.
Obama needs to be punched in the face....repeatedly.
Hi,
Historically I believe when the government shuts down basically some government workers do not report for work, the so called non-essential. Once they get a budget deal, I believe they normally paid the folks on furlough retroactive to the day they were furloughed. Personally, if they decide to hold military and folks on social security hostage for political reasons, I would be really pissed if the folks got paid retroactively.
Such nonsense. I sent the following to our local paper today. Doubt they will publish it though.

Dear Editor,
Let me see if I understand this correctly. The president and democrat leaders are blaming republicans if the budget crisis forces a government shutdown.
Now isn't this the budget for the current year that began in 2010? Didn't the democrats have a filibuster proof majority in congress for all of 2010? Doesn't that mean they could have passed the budget any time they wanted to in 2010, but probably chose not to because they knew it would further hurt their re-election chances?
So, please tell me again how this can be the republicans fault? What party is it again that put politics ahead of doing their sworn duty? What party is it again that was so irresponsible they failed to pass a budget before the money began to be spent?
If all members of congress and the executive branch were docked for the days the government shut down I wonder just how quickly they would get things resolved. Not a bad idea, beginning to believe they are also non-essential.
