[QUOTE=JeffAndersen;29054969]Yeah man it's completely fine that I'm not going to get paid yet still expected to go to work. What about my bills? I have a truck, a phone, internet, car insurance. What about food? What about gas? What about the thousands of people like me who are in the military and are about to get fucked. What about people deployed who have houses and families back home they need to support? This is a huge mess. What about late fees, credit scores getting fucked? The amount of shit that can go wrong simply by not paying the military is humongous.
And we're the lucky ones! We're bound by contract and they won't just let us go. What about the civilian DoD contractors that are also getting fucked, they can be laid off, temporarily I'm sure, but at least I'm earning back pay. As far as I know they won't.
So please don't say nothing will happen.[/QUOTE]
Im in the same boat. Stationed in AFGHAN
I look back thinking about what previous presidents would have done in a situation like this.
Andrew Jackson would have just waltzed into Congress and started shooting people with dueling pistols. :v:

People would wake the fuck up if there wasn't a ton of reality shows that they can always turn on that allows them to turn off their brains. "Martha, shit's gettin bad. We best load up the guns and head to Warshington." "But Abner, Dancing with the Stars is about to start!"[/QUOTE]
Hicks don't watch TV. Also this is 2011 not fucking 1911, there are only like 2 people named abner in the US anymore.
A more realistic quote would be:
"Yo Vinnie, the gov is like totally shuttin' down today!" : "Shut the fuck up, Jersey Shore is on"

Actually Jackson was better than that.
A guy attempted to kill him. He used 2 pistols, both misfired. Jackson walked over to him and beat the fuck out of him with his cane.
Also we should settle arguments the old fashioned way. And by old fashioned way I mean Brooks vs. Sumner shit.

That shit happened, on the floor of Congress. An abolitionist congressman was giving an argument against slavery, then a southern congressman pulled him down from the podium and beat him on the floor of congress.
