Well only 9.5 hours till the shutdown. Sucks cause I was really looking forward to going to the swap on the 16th. Dont think I will be able to afford it now. Guess what ****es me off is that congress will still get paid. Dont get me started on the Senator from California who says she cant afford not to get paid cause she lives paycheck to paycheck. Your base salary is 174K a year...plus what ever committee your on pays you as well!!! I love the reality that some people live in. Hope everyone in the same boat has a good plan and that this doesnt last to long.
