I am starting to feel really anxious. My husband will go without paychecks. I wish that the congress would lose their paychecks to see how it feels
Good shut down and leave us alone! They’re nothing but a parasite. The only thing the federal government does for me is trample my rights and screw me over with their excessive taxes, inflation and the housing market they purposely destroyed that’s made me the worst financially I’ve ever been in my life. I can protect my self without the military.
Republicans are useless. They should never receive a paycheck again.
Hackers need to prevent republican politicians from receiving money while republicans continually do nothing for us. When they finally do their jobs then they can have their money.
they kill off food stamps for many then they going to shut down the gov lol & you all still vote for boomers lol
Made up & creating fear. Like why is that magically the debt limit number where a shutdown occurs? Someone just made that up. They make life too hard & extra.
Furlough = "slavery with extra steps."
You mean the Biden shutdown.
Good, shut it down. Spend less money.
Extremely slanted agenda-driven story. What’s the other side? WHY are those lawmakers holding out? Why not answer THE overriding question at the heart of the matter?!
As someone who is actually moderate Republican, I would like to question one thing based on the fact of how there is actually the same Republican (R-FL Matt Gaetz), who was the person who disrupts the speaker vote saying his vote is for “Donald Trump” for House Speaker and now this whole disruption is caused by HIM YET again over nothing and saying he won’t open up to consider to an proposal by Speaker McCarthy to stop a government shutdown….
WHY DON’T MATT GAETZ GET A DRUG TEST for COCAINE or ECSTASY then?
(edit: he did reportedly snort cocaine and take ecstasy at parties)
Pro-choice, pro-equality, pro-union, pro-democracy. I'm definitely voteing straight ticket Democrats in 2024. Biden/Harris
Four more years. 💙 ✊🏼 🇺🇸
Contractors? They’re not paid by the government. They will still get paid. Federal civil service are the ones who don’t get paid but will get backpay once shutdown ends. I bet many are fooled by that with a contractor thinking she won’t be paid. If she doesn’t get paid, then it’s her company’s fault. She’s contracted by the company, not the government.
Bunch of BS. Never going to to happen
Shut it down!! No raising the debt ceiling without budget cuts.
Funny, the Democrats had no concern with the national debt with their reckless spending.
Stop voting Democrat!!!
The congress should go without pay!!!
Of course blame the Republicans, Trump and anything and anyone they can lie about. The dims want to instill fear…ABC fake news
All politicians pay should be the only shutdown.
Shut it down now they worthless (& stop deleting my comment)
Good job ABC news. Contractors still receive a paycheck. Wonder what side the media is on..
If people stop living above their means then maybe you could survive a shut down. Just like I'm tired of people saying I had to take the shot or I would lose my job! Lose your job. Maybe if everybody stood up together and try something different for once. Maybe that would work and make them realize we're not standing for their BS..
Shut it down. They dont work for us.
A country deserves the government it tolerates…America has turned into a really good sport over the years..
This division of repukes shows who’s is under satan dufus and who is caring and thankful for our federal employees who work their a.s off
Stop funding wars and invest into people
And this is why military recruitment numbers are down. Why would anyone sign up to join the military and deal with the BS in Washington.
When it comes time to pay our taxes, there's no delay on that, they're on it. They squeeze the money out of low income earners because they fail to get a fair share from the wealthy. I make way under 50k and the Government squeezes taxes from me all year long and at the end of the year I owe even more. The cost of living is ridiculous and it's a struggle to keep your head above water. I and I'm sure many like me cannot survive without credit cards and personal loans. It's easier just to be homeless and die.
