[QUOTE="Sniper, post: 1203690, member: 48816"] I understand your concerns but have you EVER worked for the government? I have X 3. Fed, state and local. The "non-essentials" have been closed 2 days and the planes are still flying and we are still driving. Another "fact" I will share is when I got hired at FedEx I left a full time job (my decision) for a part time job at FedEx, I knew that going in. I was eligible for food stamps and I had two children in diapers. (that was back in the day) when "the government" sent you a coupon book in the mail and it was very "embarrassing" to pull that out to pay for food for my family. According to all the "old timers" here...the good old days of FedEx. 92-94. I was so glad to get "full time". As a matter of fact I got fired going "full time". That was a [B]HAND-UP[/B] to better myself, not a [B]HAND-OUT[/B]. Much less a way of life....like it is today and getting worse by the day. I'm all about helping mankind but keeping them up at my expense while I work my butt off is not [B]COOL. [/B]Maui grew up in this area and it is economically depressed but we are proud. Now I must ask you two questions. Have you ever worked for the government or have you ever gotten food stamps? I have. It is what it is. [/QUOTE]
