Government Shutdown.....Not to Worry!

bigscoop · Apr 8, 2011

It's OK America, Spart has volunteered to run the show if a shutdown takes effect, but he'll be needing some help. He'll be evaluating resumes and fielding questions posted in this thread. :thumbsup:

(Sorry Spart, That was a cute little yellow laughing face until I accidentally poked him in the eye with that big blue thumb. Now he's pissed.)

It might seem quite crazy, but I'm actually hoping that the government will 'shut down', so some people that actually know what's going on can replace these idiots and bring back normalcy to this land.

EDIT: It's actually just a four low. They'll still be their, but only take a few days off.

Funny thing. With all of the important and serious matters afflicting this country, the big impasse is whether the taxpayers should pay for abortions for the morons of this country. Sad. :-[

Put me in charge of this problem Spart. I'll just have Flusie Susie's tubes tied 'til she's 20 and we'll save tens of millions!!

Government shutdown is due to lack of leadership...right from the top...the buck stops at Obammy :icon_scratch:

Here in New Mexico, all the News Talking heads are on and on about how the military and a pile of other folks arn't going to get paid.. Horse Crap...

I was in the Military during a shut down and we got paid.

I my self would love to see the Gooberment shut down for say 6 months.

Maybe we could create the jobs we need with out being stepped on.

Without them changing the rules of the game in the middle of the game, we could figure out the Rules.?

Status Quo! Talking Heads with Propaganda for there Fearless Leaders.

So Spart, can I get a huge government grant to investigate the side effects of being filthy rich and spoiled beyond reality? I'm sure this information could be of great benifit to the vast majority of Americans who have no idea why the governemt is working very hard to prevent them from being subjected to such a miserable existence. What do you say? :thumbsup:

Not a bad idea, unfortunately it will still be costly to do this procedure.. Anyway, your application is under consideration. :thumbsup:

Just because the government shuts down, doesn't mean that they won't collect their full checks at a later time. This is a free vacation, from the vacation they are on already. :tongue3:

First order of business is productivity, productivity like that in the private sector. If you're not productive in the job you have, guess what, you will no longer have a job. Most people face termination when they can't perform, here we reward losers with better jobs.

Unions - Tolerated in the private sector, but discouraged
Unacceptable in any government sector - They will only reward themselves on our dime.

As for grants, I do believe in them.. And in keeping with their namesake Grant, they will be rewarded with a $50 one time payout :headbang:

More to come, I need a nap :laughing9:

The answer to all of America's problems lie in the fact that partisan politics have divided the country.
We all need to remember that we are Americans first.
"To Protect and Defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God."

We are engaged in 3 different theaters of "conflict" at present. Where is the uniform support among the general populace of our country for the brave men and women serving ?

I'll tell you where. They are quibbling and crying like spoiled brats who want your toys and can't get them unless they threaten to take their toys and go home. Bunch of arrogant, self-serving constitution hostage takers....(Republican AND Democrat)

Ummmm....
Did I miss anything?

Best,
Scott

PS. I remember stories from my Mom and Grandmother about WWII and the rationing and scrap drives. I remember the Viet Nam era and the draft. My number was coming up, but the "conflict" ended before I was eligible. I still volunteered out of high school. Guess that's why I STILL love my Country! :icon_salut:

The only reason they worry about a Govt shutdown is that the public might discover we can do better without them.

Since there was no one on the ballot I'd vote for for any position I wrote in Cthulu. After all, why vote for a lesser evil.

I believe in what you say and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

In addition, I recently saw a movie that expressed it best (I don't have powerful quotes myself, so I'll quote them from movies). "It's only upon the precipice of change, will mankind change their ways. It's only when they are forced into certain death, will they make the correct decisions".

SO, as an American, it appears as though it will be a circumstance of complete injustice, that we will finally stand up and fight the DOMESTIC enemies.

Whoa there packerbacker...lets not go off half cocked...

The morons breed like Lemmings and the abortions keep them in check...

The gene pool is less contaminated by this socialized governmental public service :laughing7:
