Did CNN report that Pelosi is the one holding those paychecks hostage from the 800,000 workers.
By not meeting Trump with his offer of $$$$ Billions in Border Security she's the one holding up their paychecks.
Of course CNN would NOT report that bc they love Her & want to protect her from any embarrassment. Fox News brought that up on "the FIVE" this afternoon in a round table discussion.

I read that in most cases this week is the last pay date. I guess it depends where you work?

I read outside contractors take a hit during shutdowns? Again, does it vary?

I don't know what we fall under but as architects/landscape architects I don't think we fall under the "contractor" umbrella. the money stops now, but so does the work, so we might take a hit the first month. but usually its not an issue as we don't bill a whole lot of time to those projects on any given month.

That's just Trump bluster. It may last for months but it won't last for years. Eventually the pressure will build enough that Congress will override a veto.

Hilarious to me you believe this.

You think 2/3 of the senate would vote for this?

Why not try impeachment instead?

Liberal fantasy.

 

[Velo Vol]

You wishing that it’s so bad isn’t bad at all. I’ve been thru several shutdowns, didn’t affect me at all.

Well, if @AirVol hasn't had any problems, I guess no one has problems with not getting a paycheck.

Do you bill/get paid every month? Or is it tied to phases of the project?

Yes, I do believe it. As this thing goes on it is the Congressmen in highly affected districts and Senators in the most affected states that will feel the pressure. 800,000 families without a paycheck coming in screaming at their Reps? Damn right they'll override a veto.

Don't count out impeachment.

we do every month. which is why we could be hurt for a month. but once it shuts down we stop.

Republicans don't have strong support from federal employees.

You're wrong on both counts.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

A lot of Democrats are not getting their paychecks bc of Pelosi's crybaby tactics.

The Government is on "strike" now. Amature hour worthy.

This alone could sway the Senate.

WILL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN IMPACT MY TAX REFUND? Tax refunds could be delayed due to government shutdown

If the impasse is resolved before mid-January, the traditional start of tax season, it most likely won’t have a major impact on early tax filers and, even if the shutdown continues, once the IRS begins accepting tax returns, people can begin filing.

But they won’t get a refund until the government reopens, which could put pressure on the Trump administration to end the impasse.

 

[1972 Grad]

maybe.

Aperture?

I didn't want to say anything about your wife.

I was talking to one of my GM’s today. I was telling her that I think this will be what causes Trump to fold. Any significant delay and he will be pushed hard to move off of his wall.

He can declare a national emergency and fund the wall using funds from existing $700B national defense budget.

Not wanting to burn bridges.

That will be tied up in court for quite some time.

You have stretched the limits of my lexicon, as it pertains to your word "amature.".
