Yep—17% is a good start and probably about right for now, before we effect more structural regression.
Good point. Once back-pay is inserted into the equation I would think the savings in a shudown is very low. A shutdown just means we pay government employees to goof off and harrass us at monuments.
so the feds will be taking 17% less from my paycheck this week, right?
Timeout.
It’s more like a “Slim-Down”.
MUST READ: DEBT CEILING A DEMOCRAT RUSE
The debt ceiling propaganda is a radical ruse by obozo and his minions to try to force the Pubbies into a cave in on obozocare and push America that much further into the Marxist hellhole obozo promised his ignorant supporters in 2008!
Raising the debt ceiling WITHOUT reigning in SPENDING and telling those non-essential bureaucrats to get REAL jobs (if they can find them) is a recipe for the further destruction of what remains of America.
If he takes us into default, it will be because HE made the decision to do so.
FACT: We are nowhere near that even with a complete budget stall. The US takes in nearly $250 BILLION in tax revenues each month. This is more than 10 times what is needed to service the interest on the debt ($220BILLION/year).
What this shutdown does, however, is force Obama into a position where he would have to prioritize the spending for what is left. It would NOT be the total chaos being pushed by the Dems and their lapdog media.
If you want your country back, ignore these phony scare tactics.
PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW. Don’t bother with the obozombies. They wouldn’t recognize a fact if it bit them on the ass.
No, but I’m taking home close to 17% less after health care cost increases are factored in, so that balances.
haha, honestly! “O Give me a home ...”
