If you are in the military stationed overseas, you are not able to watch TV or listen to radio during the shutdown. However, all duplicative (I just coined that word) government broadcast services such as VOA, RFE, Radio Free Asia, etc, etc, etc. are still roaring along.Lone Rangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278448546799358207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-57290194421241453832013-10-03T15:09:24.930-04:002013-10-03T15:09:24.930-04:00DM: "How many people are now not getting paid...DM: "How many people are now not getting paid, and contrary to the shutdown of the 90's, will probably not get that back pay?"<br /><br />Zero.<br /><br />Ducky: "Now you don't see anything effecting you so everything is fine."<br /><br />(affecting)Actually, the less Congress "works," the finer things will be. They are funding everything. No one will be harmed, no one will go without pay, no one will suffer because of the "shut down."<br /><br />Relax. You're much too stressed.<br /><br />To All: It is becoming more and more clear that some people grow up with deranged thinking and are unable to draw correct conclusions from facts. Education does not help them, nor do facts or truth. Their DNA prevents them from logical thinking and from recognizing their illogical thinking. They are called liberals.<br /><br />Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693381971064363612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-54074505803725115372013-10-03T13:17:59.676-04:002013-10-03T13:17:59.676-04:00Well Joe, I'm not expecting very deep analysis...Well Joe, I'm not expecting very deep analysis from you and this article is pretty shallow.<br /><br />May I remind you that the economy is still weak. Growing but very slowly.<br /><br />Now you don't see anything effecting you so everything is fine. I get that, you're a fringe righty.<br /><br />But when a handful of extremists in the house overseen by a man scared stiff of losing the speakership and not caring for the legislative process can risk ... higher unemployment, rising mortgage rates, dollar devaluation it's a real body blow to American democracy.<br /><br />Now, in order to throw this tantrum, if the dollars value drops and oil prices rise as a result you'll be screaming and looking for a way to pin it on Obama.<br />The former may happen. The latter will not and the Tea Party has failed and failed badly, to understand its limited base.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-3140019964231495932013-10-03T12:06:51.783-04:002013-10-03T12:06:51.783-04:00Yes Joe, for many, life goes on unimpeded.

And for others, it can get very hard.<br /><br />How many people are now not getting paid, and contrary to the shutdown of the 90's, will probably not get that back pay?<br /><br />Are you prepared enough to lose half a month's pay and not have it negatively impact you and your family?<br /><br />Were you that prepared when you were young and starting out in life?<br /><br />What about people that depend on programs like WIC and SNAP? Is it possible that some of these folks will be harmed negatively by the shutdown?<br /><br />It seems as if you have adopted the cavalier attitude of Rush that he expressed yesterday.<br />Dave Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16777087329254991970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632224842501413538.post-35268084641103799782013-10-03T09:53:34.031-04:002013-10-03T09:53:34.031-04:00Except Joe, it is already funded through mandatory...Except Joe, it is already funded through mandatory allotments. Ask the GOP and they will admit that.

They won't be able to see the sights.<br />It's like when I went to Mount Rushmore and I couldn't see anything because of the fog. It was very disappointing. We are in a fog right now. We need our government back - good or bad.sue haneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09901297559322048359noreply@blogger.com
