Government shutdown

[Mafesto]

Shouldn't the compensation for politicians be the very first thing to be cut during a shutdown?
Shouldn't they have some skin in the game?

Certainly makes sense to me.

I knew that, and gave her credit for it in a twitter post.
I do believe that she is genuine in her motives, just severely misguided and even ignorant on most issues.
You refuse to see it, but I am open to good ideas from anyone regardless of which party.

 

[Idcatman3]

I didn't comment on your motives. I thought you might be interested to see the idea shared. I don't follow Twitter.

Sadly, that is the ONLY thing I've heard come out of her mouth that I agree with.

Not sure how you can listen to someone that dumb long enough to agree with them.

So what you are saying is that you're coming around?

Pretty sad that they can't sit down and talk like adults. All while the rest of us suffer from it and won't doesn't effect them at all, backwards I tell you!!

 

[Mafesto]

I've said many times that they work for us, not the other way around.
It's high time that we start treating them like they work for us and not vice versa.

You might just offend the "help" if you keep talking like that.

With the amount of personal wealth these clowns accumulate while in office, postponing a paycheck would likely only affect the newly elected members.

I'm way beyond giving a tinker's damn about who I do or don't offend.

Serious question

If you're honestly asking.

Ineffective for the money it will cost.

The majority of illegal immigrants currently are visa holders, who stay past the expiration of their visa.

Are you stating that the people "sneaking" in is not a problem?
