Government Shutdown

November 12, 2025

We are in the largest government shutdown ever, bear in mind that the people who could get it going again, are still being paid would you want to get going again if you were still being paid. If they wanted to get it going again they would stop paying congress. Apparently they are arguing who should get free government money just because they ask for it and to lazy to work or live here legally or not.

Personally, I feel people should stop living beyond their income, especially when I see help wanted signs along every street I drive on, if they want to live like that get another job

I feel the only people who should get free government money, is disable vets who were hurt defending our country, and senior citizens who paid into social security their whole working lives and would have had a good retirement if the government hadn’t stole it.

Apparently I have been misinformed I was under the opinion that our taxes were being paid to pay for the operating expenses of the United States not to pay someone who was too lazy to work or someone who wanted to live beyond their paycheck and too lazy to get two jobs
