do these gov't workers get paid So much that they can save for a calamity like the one trump is giving for them?Many people feel entitled today, and believe they deserve something for nothing. They live beyond their means, run up debt, and can barely make ends meet. If people decided to live within their means then they could have significant savings, and not live paycheck to paycheck.

Well, I think the fact that 78% of the nation is living paycheck to paycheck and personal debt is climbing seems to be pretty good evidence.
Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck
Add to this that 71% of the country also has a smartphone...which are not cheap.
That was one strange election. Both "parties" lost. Of course after Comey my neighbor and I both figured the country was fucked.If when he was on stage with those 17 candidates and said Americans NOT Mexico were going to pay for that wall he'd be in Fla and NY now ripping off whomever he couldI'm actually starting to admire Pelosi a little more. I liked PayGo when W was potus. And I don't see her options with Trump. I think it's clear the dems are signaling they'll consider an offer from Trump that doesn't include the Wall across Texas. Trump never won a popular mandate for it, and the dems just handed the gop their asses. If Trump can force his will through blackmailing by hurting over a million workers and negatively affecting our safety ... we both know damn well the SOB will do it over and over. There's only one way to stand up to a bully.A
dirty shame that one man can make life miserable for so many and while she doesn't get as much blame imo pelosi's hands aren't clean eithermeanwhile...the American Legion Temporary Financial Assistance Fund is running dry trying to help the Coasties that are being fucked over during this shutdown.
Our turn to rescue the Coast Guard, and we need your help.
We are doing a flea market with all the proceeds going to the fund. Other post are doing similar things.
These people put their lives on the line on a more regular basis than just about anyone and we cannot even give them a paycheck.
Sometimes we just suck as a country.

they make good salaries for what they do, and get great pensions, and benefits for life. If Schumer, and Pelosi accepted Trumps COMPROMISES which has offered multiple times then the shutdown would end. The Democrats OWN the shutdown. They are obstructionists and the Party of NO.
Most live paycheck to paycheck because they don't make enough to save and corporate wages aren't spectacular for most. The system dictates most will have to live paycheck to paycheck.
Okay, so how does the lowly fast food worker manage to survive off $18,000 a year if $60,000 a year isn't enough to save money on a regular basis?
Surviving is saving?
$60k was a middle class income thirty years ago. Today, $145k is required to have the same lifestyle.
Inflation Calculator
They survive just barely...and with government assistance. Newsflash...on $18K you aren't paying a mortgage or a car payment. You rent cheaply and MIGHT drive a clunker
What fucking planet do you live on?
How much do YOU make?

Every party that is not the party in the White House is the party of no.
Perhaps you have forgotten these folks...
John Boehner on the Obama agenda“We're going to do everything — and I mean everything we can do — to kill it, stop it, slow it down, whatever we can.”
Mitch McConnell “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”
oh come on stormy not everyone gets 130000 for a little pussyThey survive just barely...and with government assistance. Newsflash...on $18K you aren't paying a mortgage or a car payment. You rent cheaply and MIGHT drive a clunker
Really? Anyone making $18,000 a year is on government assistance? You moron, someone making that much money makes too much to qualify for assistance.
Sure, it's not a luxurious lifestyle, but they make it work. And if they can make it work, then there is no reason why someone making $60k a year is unable to tuck away savings every month. Anyone living paycheck to paycheck at $60k a year is terrribly irresponsible and I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.
What fucking planet do you live on?
How much do YOU make?
More than you'll ever make. Oh, and I have a royalty check on it's way soon! Mo money, mo money! Be that as it may, I also know what it means to struggle financially. REALLY struggle.

The economy is only doing well if you are in the top 10%. For everybody else, not so much.
because people do not know how to save and we live in an instant gratification society. 75 to 80 percent of the country lives paycheck to paycheck, no matter how the economy is doing.
Why are people living from paycheck to paycheck? It is because they overextend themselves. I am retired on a fixed income and I could miss a few social security checks and still stay above water. I do not receive food stamps but I am in subsidized housing and I have my medical care. I do not understand seniors who are having to choose between medicine and food. I spend wisely and budget and I manage to save each month. If needed there are over a dozen food pantries I can go to for food and other items.

Guess you don't know how much government workers make, do you?
General Schedule (GS) Base Pay Scale for 2019
At entry level, GS1 step 1's make around 18,500/year.
And, most government workers are GS5 or below. You gotta be a supervisor to get those higher positions. A GS5 step 8 (highest pay for a GS5), makes around 36,600/year.
18,500/year is around 1,500/month.
36,600/year is around 3,000/month.
Here in Amarillo, cheap rent is 950 for a house, with most of them being 1,200 to 1,500/month. Then, you have to factor in utilities, 50 average for elect, 40 for water, 50 for gas. Then, there is the need for food and gas money to get back and forth to work.
Add all that up, and you can see quite easily how a GS1 would DEFINITELY be living paycheck to paycheck, and even a GS5 would have trouble saving very much money for a rainy day.
Trump needs to stop this foolishness and reopen the government. If these workers miss another paycheck, the ripple effect on the economy could be pretty bad.

18K year is less than $9.00 an hour full-time. How many federal employees do you know that work for that?

You people are such puppets. Trump didn't win based on who would pay for the wall, he won because he was the only candidate that promised to build it. To try and convince you sheep, the Democrats planted this nonsense in your head that Mexico paying for the wall was an issue with Trump voters. Trust me, it's not and never has been.
