Not-So-Fond Memories From The Last Government Shutdowns

For those old enough to remember, the government shutdown skirmishing now underway in Washington brings back some
not-so-fond memories of late 1995 and early 1996.

That's the last time a divided government, unable to settle its differences before the money from previous years'
spending bills ran out, forced dozens of agencies to close. Some 800,000 federal workers were told to stay home and
millions of Americans were shut out of everything from their national parks to small-business loans.

In fact, in 1995 and '96 there were two government shutdowns.

`Thanks for this informative post.

I wonder if their is some other thing that is totally useless and they could actually shut down instead, but whatever I think Obamba is there to sink your country from within.

*there

Yes, like Ancient Rome, America is destroying itself;
and you're quite welcome for the info.

A good shut down would give the PTB time off to get to the bunkers. The west Coast politicians can head inland without being missed.

Bill Young says military pay would be delayed during government shutdown

Our ruling

Though Young supported a House measure to defund Obamacare, he’s now urging the House to avoid a government shutdown,
reminding fellow members of how that affects military pay. A Defense Department official said the department’s plan will
be similar to plans from past threats of government shutdowns. That means the military would delay paychecks.
Young’s claim is that the military cannot be paid without appropriations is correct. We rate his statement True.

After past shutdowns, Congress gave federal workers back pay. This time? Don’t count on it.

The only question most Americans have about whether government can be shut down is,
"How long can we keep it shut down?"

It has happened 18 times since 1979. Not a big deal. All hype.

Representative Raul Labrador (R-ID) appeared on Meet the Press Sunday morning and sparred with host David Gregory and
MSNBC’s Chris Matthews over a potential government shutdown, arguing that Matthews’ former boss, Tip O’Neill, shut down

Excellent info!

5* + PR

This is all stupid drama for the masses.

The question is . . .

"What are The Psychopaths That Be trying to distract us from?"

Could it be "Comet" ISON?

ISON passes closest to Mars on October 1st, and the electrical interactions between those two bodies have the potential to threaten Earth, much as a solar flare/CME from the Sun has potential danger to Earth.

We are already seeing an exponential increase in meteors/fireballs, while the .gov shills are powerless to tell us not to believe our lying eyes, as they did with the chemtrails, claiming them to be natural clouds or natural vapor contrails.

Don't know

Thanks to GLP, though, we know a little more than others..
and I AM keeping an eye out on those fireballs.

Thanks OP, you addressed my biggest concern in the very first sentence. My Mom's too old to go out and get a job.

OP, good thread. We can't have enough of this information get out.
I'd love to have a goal of a GLP thread on Government Shutdown be a first to come up on a GOOGLE search.
5 stars and green for you.

Yawn... There is NOthing new under the sun~

Some say there is nothing to be concerned about and some say there is.
I don't know. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

The following article says, "It’s not the shutdown that’s worrying experts. It’s what might happen after."
