Government Shutdown

[DankVectorz]

Soooooo, what are the odds Trump will sign any budget or CR before Dec. 11th now?

about the same as me becoming exposed to Covid the same day the shutdown starts and having to quarantine for 2 weeks

So basically a lock

Hope everyone’s got at least 6 weeks in savings.

Yeah, it dawned on me about a month ago we’re fucked in December when Biden wins. I’ve been telling people at my facility to prepare and don’t get blindsided like last time. It’s amazing people still think ‘oh it’s in the best interest for republicans to pass something.’ Well the president still has to sign it y’all.

I'm sure orange man will veto it. The question is whether the senate will overturn.

Part of me thinks they are gonna cut bait on Trump and it'll pass regardless, part of me thinks they will do thier very best to make Biden's presidency start off with pandemonium. I'm leaning towards option b, because of course they would do that.

I think Mitch will override cus he really has to win those 2 run offs in Georgia. A 4 month gov shutdown could be disastrous there

That's my takeaway as well. We'll see, though.

Nah bro it’s Jan 20th now. ?????

Better to wait until after inauguration.. for the transfer of power to be official and all that

Fox News on Jan 21. MOST COVID CASES IN A SINGLE DAY. MORE THEN ANY DAY UNDER TRUMP

Perhaps, we shall see

Biden isn’t going to need help any help with that.

Strange how some people aren’t accepting the results for the presidential election but are accepting the results for the senate and Congress when they’re on the same damn ballot

I’m actually pretty surprised the right isn’t using this as more ‘proof’ of voter fraud. ‘How could so many people still vote republican but not support trump’

Michigan’s state house is opening an inquiry into the election there. One that solidified majorities in both chambers.

Sorry sir thanks for setting us straight.

Has anyone used the COVID relief programs the banks are offering? Figured it might be useful for a shutdown if its still available.

Make an account at SkyOne. They usually offer 0% during shutdowns.

So if the govt does shut down on the Dec 12th, should we still expect the check on Dec 15th? Since it'll technically show up in employee express on the 10th, that means the govt "has" the money to pay on the 15th right?

Can't remember if something like this happened last shutdown.

Great question

We will still get paid on the 15th. Source: last shutdown and a few banks pay on Friday prior including SkyOne.

The govt is funded through December 11th. We will receive full pay on the 15th, and 6 days of pay on the 29th if they have not come to an agreement.

Wouldn't Pence need to sign it since it'll be on his desk next to Trumps pardon?

 

[BigEggplant]

I personally wouldn‘t plan on getting paid for 45 days, generally that’s a good goal to have for your money anyhow, particularly as a fed these days.

What other banks? I have USAA and only get paid on Monday. Kind of tired going the weekend without the paycheck

I have SkyOne. I like it get paid every Friday. They are in the credit union coop so you can usually find a branch if you need cash or make a cash deposit Have an auto loan through them too. Super easy approval and good rate.
