It's like the '08 election took the brains out of their sails.

It's like they think they need to go more and more extreme, every time that they lose. The opposite is likely more true.

My question is, if the republicans are so sure the ACA is bad and wont work right, then they should let it be implemented and when it fails come in and clean up the mess. I really think that they are worried that it would work right.

On a side note, my sister in law is trying to get coverage in FL and they want to charge her $600/mo for a family of 4, FL being one of the states that didnt agree to the federal funding. as a test she put in NJ, and the same plan through the same company came to $190/mo with federal assistance because NJ is particpating.

We will get paid our normal wage, once a budget is passed. The bill they passed just let us keep our jobs and continue working during the shutdown.

Luckily, my supervisor is still allowing leave, however he's working it.
Without knowing when the next paycheck is coming, the fun is a bit dampered, but still get to carry on my plans.

I guess since they decided to bring everyone back on board, my boss decided to allow me to take my leave. But yeah, I'm in the same boat, a little dampered from the unknown paycheck situation, but I think I'll be ok (expecting a Pell grant payment, hopefully.. assuming that isn't affected by this BS too ).

Oh the paycheck situation - for those of you with USAA, if you have an LES showing what you're supposed to be paid mid-month, they will grant you an interest-free loan for that amount. No, it isn't ideal, I hate having to take out loans for anything (except expensive and fast toys that are likely to kill me ), but if it means keeping you from going hungry until Congress gets their shit together, it's better than nothing.
