Special mention to the guy who actually says something that seems reasonable in pointing out working adults are supposed to have savings for situations like this… before we're reminded he's a destitute amateur mushroom farmer/seasonal worker with no savings himself.
Low level federal workers like janitors and shit aren't in those positions because they received guidance on financial planning. -

It seems the “feeling” is that most blame trump. If he hadn’t said to chuck and Nancy that he’d shut the government down, and mantle the blame, he might not be in this deep.
Congress is doing what their constituents want. Well over 2/3rds of the American people do not want an archaic wall; I’d even go as far as to say 3/4ths don’t want it. Why should they give an inch? They are doing what the people want. Smart folks know a wall is a waste of money, and dumb people believe that the Democrats don’t want any border security. They want money for technology to help patrol the border. They need to cover our ports of entry if they wanna stop drugs from coming in.
This made up “humanitarium emergency” is to try and appease his base, but, as usual, trump opened his big mouth and fucked himself in the ass.
8/10 americans didnt want the war in vietnam, iraq, and afghan. -

I didn't make it clear, I was mostly just referring to his supporters in that post. I seriously doubt your support ratio but honestly don't care enough to dig up actual stats on it.
Why wouldn't a wall be effective though? It's not supposed to be a panacea, and while the upfront cost is significant it'd put a serious dent in patrol and border enforcement costs (NB: Given the way that government agency budgeting works it's extremely unlikely that the taxpayer would actually benefit from those savings, but that's a different story entirely) over time.
Originally posted by GGG You can often tell when people don't live in America because they are like aldra and haven't actually met any Republicans or Democrats irl so all of their perceptions come from whats in the media.
Yeah, because the anecdotes from the three or four people who took you seriously enough to convey their actual political beliefs trumps any reading I might've done on the matter. Stop doing this.

What? In the original post, tom clancy is lowercase. In your quote it's properly capitalised. Your post came more than 5 minutes after mine, so I couldn't have edited it in the interim without the post saying so. Did you do it and forget or something? -

2019-01-14 at 1:46 PM UTCthe most effective solution to this migrant problem is really very simple :
secretly hire and fund the drug cartels in mexico via cia to stop people from entering mexico. have migrants chopped up alive or some other classic mexican thing while their on the mexican side and once this phenomenon is well known in south america, people stop trying to cross the border. -

What do you think?
A great learning experience for them...that lesson being saving money and not living paycheck to paycheck like a dog...not that dogs get paid.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-01-14 at 3:11 PM UTCActually, OP -- you are incorrect in your title statement.
Friday WAS NOT a scheduled pay day for federal employees.
Today, Monday, is the correct pay cycle.
You're welcome. -

Federal Employees are paid incredible sums of money - 1/4 are on more than $100k
I mean it's such a tragedy about them spending tens of thousands on their credit cards while waiting for their next huge paycheck to land. -
