Ya need to get that thing listened to..then.:worried:

Yeah. Bickering for another week.

Funny thing happened yesterday. I was informed at 1530 that I was non-excepted. Cool, I have other things in the pipeline anyhow. Trying to stay productive.
Boss comes to me before he leaves for the day and says to keep an eye on the storms moving through KY. If a tornado strikes the installation I need to report. Wow, thought they had those necessary positions covered. right.

give RMI a set of weekend janitor keys, i bet he can help fix it.

Appreciate the confidence, but every forum is different. I think he is looking for a copy of this forums config file so he doesn't have to build it from scratch (which will probably involve a lot of hit and miss)... :worried:

Yes Buster, that's EXACTLY what I need to do at the next step here. Except I don't know the format of the data elements, and exactly what those data elements should say. I took a look at it, and decided that rather than screw it up myself, I'd find someone fluent in it enough to screw it up for me.

You volunteering? Tom won't be back for a while...

RE: .gov shutdown

Sold. Down the river.

Know it when you see it. It's your pound of flesh.

Then there's next week, and the debt ceiling, and next year, and more funny stuff.

Great theater, play it again Sam.

 

[burrocrat]

omg, i was so skeered i might lose MY money for an indefinate period of time i almost peed myself. i have it coming, i'm entitled, give me mine.

Yes sir, sir. Let's just take the scheduled furloughs instead, a day here and there, it won't be too bad. I want to do my part to drop in the bucket. Heck, it's only a pound, and what's flesh worth these days anyways?

Get ready fellow fed folks, it's coming.

So.... no government shutdown.


So what do you think that will do to the stock market on Monday?

Will it go up?

I'm not so sure about the short-term effect on the markets. But I think the real lesson of the budget debacle is that it highlighted just how disfunctional and detached from fiscal reality our process has become. I think we are so awash in debt and irresponsible spending that it's impossible to ignore any longer. I think the bond hawks have been salivating at the prospect of yet another sovereign carcass to pick clean, and it may be ours next.

It is embarassing to me that we are this far into a fiscal year and still are fiddling around with how to cover the bills. What do we pay these people up there to do anyway? And are they doing it to your satisfaction?

The closed door deals and the showdowns and the hold employees and benefit recepients hostage to score a few points is a despicable and inefficient way to run a business. If we don't start running it like a business we may soon find ourselves out of business.

With the current resolution only a week long, it still remains to be seen if a total budget will be signed by Friday....Markets will not care until then:notrust:

But, you could see optimistic buyers coming in:blink:

Frixxxx,

Congress passed this CR just to keep the gubmint running so they could get a rubber stamp vote and ink the long term agreement. There was no time to call Congress into session and vote. However, they whipped it and have enough votes - probably far more than they need. So this CR and the votes are procedural only. The firing gun has gone off and the game is over.

My guess is that the market will boom.

I will also guess that many in Congress will demand more cuts in trade for an increase in the credit card limit. I bet those will be deep. Maybe a hundred billion or so.

Folks, get ready. The Treasury will be appropriating funding from your 'G Fund' assets within a month. Will such action freeze your assets in the 'G Fund' - ie. will you be able to move money out of G and into F/C/S/I. Who knows. I do know one thing. I don't want an entity that has never paid its bills in my lifetime to borrow from me. I already have dependents.

.... What do we pay these people up there to do anyway? .....

What do we pay them to do? Well, on BOTH sides of the aisle, what we are paying them to do is to run around making back-door deals with each other to to get the power so they can take the pork home to their constituents so they can buy the votes so they can run around making back-door deals with each other ..... Ad infinitum.

Well then, they should be fired.

And next time I have my say in the matter, that is exactly what I plan...

I'm digging out this old thread because it's starting to look like we may go there again.

The Government runs out of money at MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.

And last night- West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin said dems would block passage unless health care benefits would be extended for Coal Miners who lost their jobs.

What do you think?

Are we about to do another government shutdown this weekend?
