Who decides what's constructive? I watched as thousands walked out of the Lucent plant never to go back. I'm sure there are people here that watched thousands walk out of the GM plant never to go back. But because someone is employed by the Government it is supposed to be a guaranteed job for life?

Where were you when I was RIF'd from my company in '09. I could've used your violin.
Apparently, yes, yes it is.
Fair enough...it sure is an emotional topic.
Veterans: Some key benefits will continue and the VA hospitals will remained open. But many services will be disrupted. The Veterans Benefits Administration will be unable to process education and rehabilitation benefits. The Board of Veterans' Appeals will be unable to hold hearings.
What's more, if the shutdown lasts for more than two or three weeks, the Department of Veterans Affairs has said that it may not have enough money to pay disability claims and pension payments. That could affect some 3.6 million veterans.

I make my own and yes it is sugar free, I use Stevia.
I also see that the House tried to pass 3 emergency bills funding the VA, parks, etc but they failed. Would not have mattered anyway since the Senate had said they would not pass them and Obama said he would veto them, but at least they are trying to help the working folks.
Actually one of the last proposals funded Obamacare. All they had to do was give everyone in the country the same breaks that they gave themselves and the unions.
All I can say is that elections are not term limits. You have to have a hard and fast rule that eliminates a person's ability to hold an elected off more than 2 terms, period, just like the prez. I would like to see a limitation that also limits them to one branch- either the house or the senate, no doubles.
Actually we would not be having this discussion at all if the Dem controlled Senate had bothered to write and vote on a budget for the coming year. Something they are required by law to do every year but have not done since 2009.
