I'm retired. Not affecting me at all. Other than getting a chuckle out of the talking heads on tv blaming eachother.
I’m with u, it’s not effecting my SS, my VA 100% disability $ or my pension. Who could ask for more!!!! Oh yea at 100% disability I don’t pay property taxes in Texas

I'd guess its not a heavy impact up in DFW. I'm down in the Killeen area and its a much bigger impact this close to base. Lots of people won't be getting their paycheck on Wednesday if nothing changes.

I haven't even noticed. That shows you how critical government really is to our daily lives.

I got back early this morning on a flight from LV and a lot of buzz among Flight Attendants and Counter People about a major impact coming due to Air Traffic Controller availability, especially on West Coast Flights. I'm not planning any air travel until this gets settled.

Good times and we're just getting started with the economic depression.

Enjoy the decline!

I heard it said once that the federal government has actually very little to do with a private citizen's everyday life. In reality the Mayor of your city probably has more effect. It's the Mayor who can decide to put a stop light next to your house not the feds. Yet turnout for a federal election is typically much higher that a mayoral election.

Ohh, look at my post count! Heh-heh.
