GOV shut down opinions!

Texas economy is the largest one that's still growing in the U.S., and in 2006 the state was home of six of the top 50 companies on the Fortune 500 list and 58 of the top 500 -- the most of any state. In 2008, the state had a Gross Domestic Product of $1.245 trillion, second-largest in the U.S. and 15th-largest in the world.

Texas currently conducts more than $150 billion a year in trade with other nations; it leads all other states in exports, and has for five consecutive years. In 2005, per-capita domestic production in Texas was $42,975 per person.Well from my understanding Texas is the only state that can sustain itself if separated from the US. I could be wrong but it makes sense . I bet the gov doesn't want to let go of their oil though. :D I'm from GA
 
I was going off of self reports for state revenues v budgeted expenditures. Unfortunately official data is inaccessible at the moment.
 
I'm not saying that we should divide like north and south Korea but I think the country should separate into two groups and do there own thing, then once we see which one works better we go with that plan an become united again. Cant argue with that if it works you go with it if it doesn't you don't. Is it just me or does that seem simple?
 
The only problem with that is that we are a country full of stubborn pricks and once we were on one side we'd have to have a war to bring the other side back in.
 
Well at this point its probably better than a gov that doesn't work, I would fight for my country's success again , but please I am serious by all means if you have a sure fire solution that would work chime in. I'm all ears even if the govt isn't.
 
a federal goverment is no longer needed.we need to function as the united states not a devided state.each state should form its own militia that is part of a united states defense group,coastal states are responsable for protecting coast lines and rescue operations,northern and southern border states are responsable for border security.all former federal parks should be turned over to the states in wich they lie,power grids should be run by a united states energy group each state is responsable for the equipment with in their borders,each state is responsable for the roads and highways with in its borders ,each state can decide for its self on issues of guns,welfare,same sex marriage,medical,drugs and so on.no federal money will not be missed since all federal tax will now go to the state in wich it was earned.trillions will be saved by not waging usless wars and paying other countrys to be our friends.corparations will not be allowed to sell their products in the united states unless it makes jobs for our citizens,no more loopholes for corparations.each state can decide its own taxrate as long as its a flat rate for all.each state must follow the constitution and bill of rights as it was in 1791. jmho

I am not even American but I'd vote for you anrkizm
 
O sorry got so excited to see a plan that will actually work that no one will entertain! [up]
 
All I can say is that with the shutdown... I have more riding time.
But just no paycheck.
It does bother me though that people tend to lump all Gov employees into the boat of rich
fat cats. Well Im here to say that that is not true. Im a diesel Mech, and could make a bit
more on the civilian side, but Where I work now (Dept of the Army as a Maintenance inspector)
My 10 years of Army service counts toward my retirement, and now have 20 years of federal service.
Also, the health plans arent that great either. But Im a lower level guy.

Rant over!!
 
God I pray this doesn't happen, but people wonder where home grown terrorist come from. Its just like bullying people you do it long enough and they do stuff that is unimaginable and stupid!
 
I wish we could go back to the times where being a US senator or congressman was a civil service done for free. Lobbyists should be banned. No one in the 3 branches of government should be paid except for the president because he actually lives in DC and has no other job. There is nothing that our federal government does with the exception of our soldiers and secret service that is absolutely needed full time. If we went to a "if you want this job, your doing it for free" mentality I think things would get straightened out real quick. Not to mention, you don't need to be a millionaire anymore to get elected to public office. With social media the way it is, you could run a campaign for free from your ipad. Then maybe we could get some non-shitbag politicians.
 
I am a disabled vet and receive a pension, and now the Democrats refused an offer to continue paying our veterans, because republicans wont fund all of the GOV.

Not true atal!!!!

Neither VA DISABILITY NOR RETIREMENT PAY will be affected.

They are both ENTITLEMENTS and are NOT affected by this situation.

I am 90% Combat Service Connected and Retired. Received both on the first and DFAS states they WILL NOT be affected.
 
I hope that you are correct RPBUELL because I am service connected and I really depend on my income. So why all the talk about how this will affect DAV's ?
 
Veterans groups have reacted angrily to news that an extended government shutdown will leave the Department of Veterans Affairs unable to make disability compensation and pension payments to veterans.

Losing the payments could have a devastating impact, particularly on severely wounded veterans who are unable to work and depend on VA checks, said Tom Tarantino, chief policy officer for Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
 
I got this in my email this morning from DFAS!

Retirees and Annuitants,


You will continue to receive your pay and Service Connected Compensation on time during this government shutdown.

Military retirees and annuitants are not paid from Continuing Resolution Act (CRA) appropriations. Therefore, your payments are not affected by this shutdown.
