wagner Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I have not had a chance to dig into this, but if the government shuts down so does FHA. No FHA means I might miss my closing date for my house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 you are wrong Source: no source, i don't actually know. just following orders. edit: bad news Federal Housing Administration: Not Working In the event of a shutdown, the FHA, which guarantees 30 percent of all mortgages, would not be able to guarantee housing loans. That "would have significant impact on the housing market," according to a senior administration official. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/government-shutdown-agencies-stay-open-close/story?id=13309873 edit2: editorial I can't believe at this point in time we've become so hostile and unable to figure this out that the people whose interests we're looking out for are in jeopardy. this is ridiculous. i hope there isn't a single incumbent that makes it past the primary votes next time their office is up.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 when is your closing date? if a shutdown happens, i don't think its likely to be very long... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_federal_government_shutdown_of_1995 and it happening twice like in this instance isn't likely either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could say this is "not fair" but I really hate that phrase. It is very sad what is happening to this country right now. I blame ALL in power on both sides, they are all equally worthless. There is not a single elected offcial in office right now that has the people of the United State's interests in mind. It is time that we the people take this bitch back...

Well, there is at least one Congressman who I believe has our best interests in mind. Nearly everyone treats him as a joke now, but I think when people look back 50 years from now, they'll see he had it figured out better than the rest of the politicians. http://i355.photobucket.com/albums/r445/martyr65/220px-Ron_Paul_official_Congressional_photo_portrait_2007.jpg Like the wise father whose teenagers ignored his advice, he's held in high regard years later, but by then it's too late .....

Nitrousbird Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Doc really said it. I am actually for .gov being off for a week or two. How many millions (or more likely billions) will this keep us from spending for being off a very short period of time? Too much spending going on.

nurkvinny Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The ONLY part I don't like is active military not getting paid (if that's even the truth). Keep in mind, even if gov't workers are off for weeks, congress can agree to pay them their back pay. Which is a whole other issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furloaf Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 ^ I think in 1995/96 there was not a hold on spending, but actually a further loss of money due to loss of revenue for the national parks, passport and licensing fees, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Goddamn political stunt to try and scare the American people, I'm not going to worry about it.

dover Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 They are telling us they we wont be paid. It's going to be an ugly day come the 8th when soldiers aren't being paid. Good luck to the rest of ya I'm not working for free! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spam Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I think you guys forget the important part that the congress and pres still get paid. Which is ridiculous when you think about they are the ones who got us into this mess, they should be the first to not get paid!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty2Hotty Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 They are telling us they we wont be paid. It's going to be an ugly day come the 8th when soldiers aren't being paid. Good luck to the rest of ya I'm not working for free! Exactly my thought, volunteer military means, technically we can volunteer to stop working. One week's pay is going to hurt a lot of folks in the military. Hell in a handbasket might be a good phrase to work by. Sorry to hear that Wagner, it's utter bullshit our government has come to this. Mr.Jefferson would be calling for a clean slate at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron's followers already know him well and he has a lot of life ahead of him. As great as Ron is, I sadly think his chance has passed.

wagner Posted April 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 http://cnsnews.com/news/article/rep-ryan-obama-s-budget-path-do-nothing 'CBO Can't Conceive of Any Way' Economy Can Continue Past 2037 Ron Paul can save us There is some good stuff in there, but some of the comments are a bit closer to the truth. The bottom line is people in the United States do not like the truth, hence why Ron Paul did not come to mind for me. I know who he is, but don't think of him much because of all the other useless fucks hog the camera and spew their fail. I did some quick research on Ron Paul and the guy has great ideas, he really should have more power but people don't like the truth. People don't like the idea they might have to give something up, tell their kids no, or god forbid actually work and not take money from the goverment. /rant time to work so millions of useless bags of flesh can sit at home and enjoy my tax money.

How many millions (or more likely billions) will this keep us from spending for being off a very short period of time? Too much spending going on. Problem is in history they usually get back pay. However, contractors are screwed (we won't get back pay and are required to use vacation or take time off without pay). In addition parks and the such are closed so it is a loss of income. Income down, expenses up. Even worse news, usually the President in office gets re-elected after a shutdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Paul's ideals, but how drastically he wants to change things right away turns a lot of people off. Also, his social ineptitude is a major problem. Sure, he may have great policy ideas, but would he truly be a great leader? Probably not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess maybe I don't understand FHA fully but how am I a freeloader? I plan on paying my mortgage, my taxes, and not being a waste. Sometimes you come off as a total fucking asshole. I think I need to meet you in person to passs final judgment if you really are this much of a prick, or just like to stir the pot on the internet.
