I'm having to tell a lot of mothers with hungry babies to go to the food banks for baby formula because we can't help them with WIC. This blows hairy monkey balls.0

This is so sad and it is BS that WIC is under fire. Especially when they will take care of starving children OUTSIDE the US.0 -
I am so sorry for your loss, and for your financial difficulties right now! I'm very blessed. So far the shut down has not affected us in any way.0

This is something I can sympathize with being a recent first time homebuyer. I'm sorry. =/0 -

It doesn't affect me at all. Except that is p*sses me off that we have a bunch of idiots in Congress with the schoolyard attitude that makes them want to disagree with each other over every thing.
Yes I agree and in my PERSONAL opinion, they should all be impeached starting at the top. But let's not get into that.
For doing their job?
Congressmen are supposed to represent the people that elected them. If they ran and won on a platform that says their constituents want them to represent their issues and it results in a standoff, then they are doing their job. If they are being told in letters and phone calls by their constituents that they need to stand their ground, then they need to do that.
It's not like the senate where they aren't necessarily there to listen to the voice of the people as much as represent what is best for the country as a whole.
I think the problem comes from the great schism in the general population that allows these clowns to get elected to congress in the first place. Rural vs. urban, and conservative vs. liberal see things too diametriccally opposed for the House to get anything done.0 -

Luckily I'm a first time buyer with a conventional loan that was approved the day prior to the shut down.0 -
Being in the UK, not at all.
Government shut-down.....things must be working :happy:0 -
It hasn't affected me one iota.
This is not the first time, nor the second nor the fifth. Most of this (not all, granted) is media hype.0 -
Good friend is on furlough from work. As he says, "It's like a snow day, but instead of snow, it's bulls&*@."
I work in medical research and the sequester's hit us pretty hard. NIH has had to be much more restrictive with grant money- we've already lost a few people as a result. I'm hoping the sequester gets pushed back pretty soon so I can keep my job. However, I'm not a parent dependent on WIC to feed my kids, so I'm one of the very lucky ones.0 -
