Hopefully they didn't cut too much from education. It just doesn't make sense to cripple a system that helps people improve their intellect and their economic position.

Holy shit we actually agree on something.  I miss being a mod sometimes because it would be fun to ban him.  If he tried to say something against my reply would simply be "tldnr." 

We actually agree on a lot, I just don't say anything since you say whatever needs to be said before me, when it happens.

*edit*

Republicans caved. They wanted $61.5b in reductions, Dems wanted $33. The end result was $39.5b.

Which is pretty bad of Republicans to cave like they did. These kinds of nickle-and-dime spending cuts won't fix the massive deficit we have.

There was one senator who proposed they not be paid. A Democrat I believe.

Sad it didn't pass.

Paycheck to paycheck on 174,000.  Wooo boy.

Give me 174,000 and i'll live 6-8 years off that.

If I was ever a senator the first thing I would propose is a cut in pay to 100,000 and back that up by donating the extra 74,000 to charity every year.

With a later proposal that any raises must be voted for nationally on the election ballot.

My news station was kind of pessimistic..

'No shutdown'   I was like 'good news'  one second later..

'But only tens of billions are saved and this caused almost a shutdown...what will this gives in 6 months when the next talk about next year's budget starts where the Replubicans wants to save 100 Billion'..

if the govertment shutdown happpens, puerto rico will be extremly affected by it, they are rumors that they are going to cut  economics aids for all the university by alot.

only the first rock of crack is free. habbits expensive, yo. and as evidenced by her statement, she must smoke a hell of a lot of the stuff.
