Shutdown of Government is now 27 days

Government shutdown reaches Day 27

There are about 450,000 Government employees who still have not been working as of today. The Trump administration continues to recall tens of thousands of workers after almost four weeks of closed doors at vital agencies.

Private contracting firms, that work with Government agencies, have been without work, and no back pay is guaranteed. Unlike furloughed Federal workers who will receive back pay. 800,000 Federal workers are going without pay during the shutdown.

At the IRS, 36,000 employees were asked to return to deal with tax season, About 1,700 FAA aviation safety inspectors were told to return after the agency ran preliminary safety tests and about 2,500 employees at the Agriculture Department will briefly return to process farm loans.

This month people receiving SNAP benefits (food stamps) will get February's in January some have already received them. Also, for Social Security and Disability the February checks will also be given before the end of January. However, there is no way of knowing how much longer this shutdown will continue and if it does not end by February's end SNAP and Social Security and Disability checks can not be guaranteed for March.

We, the People of this Great Nation known as the United States need Our officials to come to some type of resolution. I for one am for the wall if the money can be found. But we can NOT let our Government hold us hostage and even stop our rights to the very needs we have paid for as we worked, like our Social Security, Disability and benefits to those who actually need help with food and medical on the State level known as Health and Welfare. Many Seniors and Disabled just barely survive even when they get SNAP benefits. I really look around and see that other people who have not put into Social Security and yet they get the benefits, of those who have, at a very high amount. I have always believed that the Social Security we have paid in to while working should be put into an account with our names on them so when we retire, or become disabled at some time before retirement age, we are guaranteed Social Security/Disability benefits without having to jump through hoops and the Government saying "There is no more money in Social Security." Why? Because the Government decided to borrow all of it which now puts us at risk of it not being there when we need it. It is our money we paid in. It was not up for borrowing. This is my biggest pet peeve.

Government Stealing Us Blind!

You would think the the Government Departments would be more helpful instead they keep giving you the run around. Call this number call that. NO, we can't do that, we can't help. Go to this person or agency we are not the ones you need to contact!

I am disabled from Fibromyalgia and Menieres along with other issues. I worked as a Nurse for nearly 30 years. I paid in on my Medicare plus had extra taken out. I don't need this crap from Medicare it stresses me out and makes me Anxious.

They are not the only Government agency that gives people the run around. When will America take care of it's Citizens? When will Government Agencies be more helpful instead of passing you off to another agency? When When When?!

The Government Agencies have become lazy and don't care to us we are a friggin' Number Not a Person!!!!! It is so dis-heartening and makes me angry. I can't deal with their crap like this. All I want is a single item corrected. And that is never going to happen. I have been fighting to remove this for nearly 6 years now. And now they want a letter from a Doctor that is Dead for at least 5 yrs and no practice is open as he was the only Chiropracter at that office!

All BS just to keep the poor people as poor and in pain as the Government wishes so they don't have to help it's Citizens of the USA! All the GOVERNMENT REPRESENTATIVES IN THE WHITE HOUSE, SENATE, CONGRESS AND ALL OF IT'S AGENCIES JUST WANT TO KEEP GETTING HUGE RAISES AND LEAVE THE CITIZENS TO EAT DOG FOOD MEATLOAFS! I am a HUMAN BEING! IF CONGRESS, THE SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE STAFF AND EVEN PRESIDENT WAS TO EVEN TAKE A 20% CUT IN THEIR WAGES I BET MEDICARE WOULD ONCE AGAIN BE SOLVENT.

Yet every year they scream that they are getting less money yet the Senate, Congress, White House Staff and President and Pentagon and the FINANCIAL BANKING INDUSTRIES continue to give themselves large raises. This is Totally Wrong they are stealing from us and keeping us under their thumbs like Peasants they can walk all over.

 Well, I am a person and because the small agencies may get less funds or whatever they don't want to do their jobs and work with people or help people. They are lazy lazy lazy! They are Rude, Rude, Rude! They are dismissive, dismissive, and non-caring.

The money WE, the Citizens of the Great Land of the United States of America, work and work and pay into our Medicare so it is there. Oh, but no the Presidents and Judiciaries all decided years ago to take our money for their own expenses or to give it away to another Country.

Medicare, Mr. President, Listen UP! THAT WAS OUR MONEY YOU STOLD! WE WANT ALL OF IT RETURNED NOW, NOW, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

We the People of this Great Land of the Unite States wants what we earned and are entitled to! Get the Illegals out of our country and quit giving them thousands of dollars a month from programs designed for the AMERICANS NOT ILLEGALS!  Stop letting more people into our Country--THEY ARE STEALING OUR JOBS AND GETTING THOUSANDS PER MONTH. Heck, I have to live on a measly $750 per month so those Illegals and Immigrants can get thousands. Right now I am avery very Angry AMERICAN!!!

As an AMERICAN all I get is the run-around. I give up. Heck with Govermental BS! You are uncaring overpaid REPRESENTATIVES WHO STEAL FROM THE CITIZENS OF THE USA!!!!
