I'm not going to receive a paycheck for a fucking MONTH or more and it's all because of this fucking orange NIGGER fucking everything up at mach speed. I should've quit with my coworkers today, now there's nobody to process my resignation paperwork.FUCK I HATE MY FUCKING LIFE!!!
>>215410821how is this even possible in a firstie country?
1. you voted for this2. my state is now assuming control over it's amtrak trains to avoid this, which is super based
i was gonna sarcastically say "yeah but [insert trivial political "win"]" but i legitimately cannot think of anything "good" he has done for the right sans the far upper echelons of society
>>215410845The government is shutting down tomorrow. No federal employee is going to be paid until the senate passes a budget.100k federal employees quit today in protest.
>>215410845I'm not OP but it happens because only Congress can pass spending bills and only the House can create the Budget. This is literally in the Constitution and totally sacrosanct. This is done to avoid Trump letting Israel create our budget and selling large portions of the country to China. Republicans don't like the size of the government and use the shutdowns to forcibly reduce it. So far it's been successful, with almost all of the benefits conferred to blue/urban Democrat states as the Federal govt reduces it's role in their own rural states.Also, the real end goal of this is to destroy Social Security. By making Social Security an opt-in system, most states will opt-out because Social Security is Socialism. In doing so the SSA fund is immediately fixed to a sustainable level (almost all US debt is leveraged against it's funds) but is restrained to blue states only. This then destroys rural Republicans.This has been happening for the past 50 years and is nearing it's final conclusion under Trump II.
>>215410879Doesn't this shit happen literally every year Why wouldn't you expect it to happen at this point
>>215410845Culture warrior got elected to the highest of office by people who just wanted a better economy.We're a fucked country in many many ways.
>>215410897There were no shutdowns under Biden.
It's kind of fucked isn't it? Like the Republicans just don't give a shit about government so they don't mind a bunch of government employees losing their livelihood. (Hell they barely care about non-government employees losing their livelihoo). So it sort of puts the Dems in a fucked up position since taking care of workers is something they're trying to paint themselves for.Basically means conservatives have some ideological chokehold over the issue of shutdowns.
>>215410896>This is done to avoid Trump letting Israel create our budget and selling large portions of the country to China.btw Vivek Ramamsway wants to do this with Ohio because Israeli financial advisors are better than democrats or algo and, by outsourcing the budget to another country's financial advisors, they can better support Israel's mission and Israeli businesses by substituting government services with them. Which fits within the current privatization framework the party has been implementing over the past decade. For example instead of welfare cards, Ohioans would instead download an Israeli app to obtain their proof of welfare eligibility and then use their digitally verified voter ID to obtain benefits at a benefits dispersal merchant, basically anyplace that takes a visa who issues the e-cards. Israel's intelligence services will provide full cybersecurity for it, in the same way they provide consultation for all police and law enforcement agencies in Ohio. This is the only way the college antisemitism campaign for palestine can be finally shut down without Trump intervention, as students can have their aid electronically withheld until they sign the same Israeli loyalty pledge their professors, teachers and police all did.And abortion is banned because we got to protect the babies.
America is a weird country.
>>215410994Anyway, Trump can't do this nationally because the Constitution requires the funds for this to be reapproved by Congress every two years. Whereas, in Ohio they can just change Ohio's constitution to give all these powers to the Governor who can then give it to Israelis that work on the people's behalf, since Ohio officially recognizes Israel and there is a separate push to recognize god in Ohio which would obviously recognize Israel as officially above Ohio. Join The Revolution And Dismantle The Socialist Deep State.
>>215411035And yet I'm called a traitorous faggot for wanting off this ride...
>>215410879>>215410896god damnno contigency plan? what the fuck?at least when our government can't fucking agree on such things, the show just goes on as usual on overtimewe actually had such a situation a few years ago and the papers wouldn't shut the fuck up about parliament drama
kinocivil war soon hopefully and lots of dead amerifriendsgood luck out there!although n.e.h.captcha y8ga4
I hate drumpf for making shipping shit from China 10x more expensive, stupid fucking orange nigger
>>215411078The shutdown is the Contingency plan. The government shuts down if Congress cannot preform it's Constitutionally mandated duty to create a Budget. There is no way around this. This is the US government.
>>215411078There's no backup or contingency for the same reason a lot of things happen. The policical parties find it convenient at times.
>>215411078Republicans want a smaller government, even if it means literally destroying it through financial warfare by potentially bankrupting ourselves if we miss a debt interest payment. Which is what really matters. The debt ceiling exists for Democratic Presidents but not Republican ones. Democrats are calling their bluff and are forcing Republicans to either cut down the government formally and officially, or just close it down. This is completely valid since, ultimately, if the US government misses a debt payment and subsequently nukes the economy when the bank sues the US Treasury (causing a constitutional crisis) then Trump owns it forever. I'm here for the fireworks and I want to see /pol/ get mad when their car payment rate triples because the bank suddenly starts demanding Canadian Dollars, Gold or Bitcoin as payment not USDs.
>>215411078>no contigency plan?This is the plan.
>>215410821Lol well atleast youre not mei got fired from my last job in march and they still haven't paid me
>>215411078Let it be a lesson to you and all non-Americans on how stupid it was to tie the global economy so closely to our half-baked system held together by a slowly cannibalized economic system.
Do you stock up on food, water, guns and ammo anons?
>>215411105>>215411106>>215411172>>215411138and then what? what if infinite stalemate because fuck you that's why ensues?
>>215411078I was talking to my dad about this today and he said most of the government deserved to be fired because his social security check is done automatically electronically now, and that all welfare takers should be enslaved and forced to work for the military like he was. Mom agreed because college women like my sister hate her and want her babies raped, cut open and eaten by the cartel. When the government shuts down he laughs because he's saving his tax money for another gun. Freeloaders who make it to 24 without a house are losers and deserve to not have anything. They are both over 65 and angry all the time because they watch Fox exclusively.This is at least 40% of the American electorate, perhaps even a majority.
>>215411275Yes. The stalemate is the final safety failsafe. If the government can't agree how to spend other peoples' money, taxes, the government has no right to exist. No taxation without representation. This situation can continue indefinitely, but the consequences of NOT paying our debts would be catastrophic to millions of Americans' interest rates which are separately calculated from it. In this way, many Americans are about to learn what Compound Interest is.
>>215411275Well either we find out that debt is a meme that doesn't matter, or the US dollar starts tanking in value exponentially and the Fed goes into crisis mode.But Idk, maybe that's what top retard wants so he can institute martial law and hunt his enemies down.We're basically a central American country at this point.
>>215410821Was trying to be a federal employee last year and sent some applications out. Guess I dodged a bullet there
>>215411035They exist so you can look at them and be glad you're not them. Thank them for their service.
>>215411354I'm guessing both, but Trump can't expect anyone to work for him for free. The military is required to work for free, but the military can't be deployed without Congress re-authorizing all of Trump's emergency powers in the yearly NDAA, and it expired an hour ago. Also, check it out we spent $1 Trillion on defense last year:https://www.armed-services.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/fy2026_ndaa_executive_summary.pdfand Israel demands more
>>215411310what the fuck did I just read?
>>215411078The plan is to cause as much economic uncertainty, difficulty and collapse until the other side blinks. Or at least 9 of them with Vance's tiebreaking vote. This is explicitly about scaring the other side into doing something, and that is best done by scaring the average American into compliance. This is rule by fear. This is the twentieth or so time republicans have done it and it won't be their last. 50.01% of Americans want this. Just look at all the celebration on /pol/ and the newsmax watch party.
>>215411416Idk man Trump has already proven to be the "this sign can't stop me because I can't read" sort of guy. Nothing short of mass refusal to listen to him would stop him.
>>215411468I don't actually expect the military to work for free. I legitimately do not expect any solider to work after he is told he won't be paid. Maybe Trump can get a week or two, but nothing longer than two pay periods. Even soldiers have debts to pay and Trump isn't smart enough to pass orders exempting them from credit card bill collections. Also they'd be too busy working for him to fight a foreclosure eviction or repo guy towing their car.
>>215411436my parents think the same way, dad thinks this will trim the fat and let trump get rid of the parts of the government that sit on computers all day
Having some major dental work done in November, will this shutdown affect the cost?
>>215411570yes if you use medicare, since one of the biggest demands are work requirements for medicare insurance. If you have a job the existing discount goes down (and goes down to zero if you're using a silver/bronze obamacare marketplace plan) and if you don't have a job your benefits are denied and you are told in writing to get a job.
