I had heard the same.

per Wikipedia.

Also is the FTC an agency that will be shut down during this?

Best post/question/insight in the whole thread.

I hate our fucking government, both republicans and democrats. Although, I hate those retarded fucking pundits like Glen Beck who pollute the minds of Americans.

Didn't the USPS post losses in the billion last year? What reserve funds?

Reserve funds meaning funds previously allocated, for the running of the service for a finite time, to something similar to a trust fund that is not tapped unless the government has been shut down. It is not tapped because of deficits or emergency situations.

I don't know if that's the case for USPS, but that's the case if I remember correctly for your courts and for any essential service up here in Canada (almost all of which lose money yearly) in the event of a government shut down.

It appears it does somewhat come down to the PP dispute. Here's a good example of why I rage at the absolute fucking ignorance revolving around the issue:

Is the 90% figure correct?

If not, do you know correct percentage?

I can find out from my girlfriend later tonight, but I believe less than 10% of the services they offer are abortions

The positioning is priceless.

From Reid:

"This all deals with women's health. Everything (else) has been resolved. Everything," Reid said Friday morning. "It's an ideological battle. It has nothing to do with fiscal integrity in this country."

From Feinstein:

"It's an opportunity for the right wing in the House (of Representatives) to really sock it to women," said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California.

lol

At stmadeveloper: Yep. I remember that.

Also interesting, Planned Parenthood spent over $1 million of the money they received helping to elect Democrats...

why the fuck is people on welfare getting anything at all past today but plenty of people I know in the mil. and people waiting on paper checks from the IRS wont be getting anything soon.

So there isn't riots.

 

[eliquid]

let the riots happen, i got a couple mini guns ready to get fired up

A deal got done, EPA and Planned Parenthood riders yanked with 78.5 billion yanked from the budget. Both sides are going to spin it but since money seems to be purely theoretical numbers that can be dealt with by future generations of tax payers to politicians I'd have to say it was the Republicans that blinked first this time.

 

[Groomez]

Sorry I forgot to do my taxes... I heard the gov't shut down.

 

[nmridul]

Does that mean lesser wars for the rest of the world ?

 

[lukep]

Yep... This clearly looks like a Win for the Dems... Trump was purely wrong on this one and has Egg on his face.

 

[megatabbers]

I can't believe this. I just realized that all of this drama was over a measly $38 billion in cuts?!!! WTF?!!! The deficit for the past year was 1.3 TRILLION and they almost shut down the government over 38 billion?!!!

 

[ly2 from WF]

nah, the postal service runs off the money it makes - it's self sustaining

planning a hike into a national park this weekend....hopefully they don't close the roads leading into it this saturday : /

The postal service doesn't make any money, they just lose billions per year

No administration since Clinton has cut the deficit down near zero... I think it's safe to say they've forgotten how to and feel it's out of reach any year soon.

 

[Unarmed Gunman]

Shouldn't it be UNplanned Parenthood? Just sayin...

This couldn't be more wrong and it's laughable to think that our defict has been anywhere near zero in decades. The only thing Clinoton did was balance the budget and keep the interest on the deficit from accumulating as rapidly as it had under previous administrations.

"In his final State of the Union, President Clinton said the United States should continue to balance its books and pay off the debt entirely."


but....

"The biggest accrued-debt-per-year figures are associated with B.H. Obama, G.W. Bush, G.H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, FDR, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter, in that order."

and finally...

"The massive Clinton tax increase of 1993 resulted in short-term increases in revenues to the government but eventually became an anchor that stopped economic growth. Clinton left the country on the brink of recession at the end of his second term in 2001"

The defict is, and will continue to, grow due to uncontrollable deficit spending.
