Open up Government

[Law Man]

Taken from a Opinion Contributor

The Department of Agricultural has $200 billion in outstanding loans for rural development projects. The Federal loans to local communities have low default rates that are attractive to private-sector investors because they represent large, reliable cash flow. The kind of investment that big money funds desperately desire. About $50-100 billion worth currently held by USDA are very marketable and attractive commercial paper investments. The sales would give a profit cushion to the government and alleviate taxpayers from any future risk of nonpayment while reading certain borrower guarantees. Trump could authorize the sale of $10 billion of USDA rural water loans in secondary market, which could bring in a lump sum payment of $12billion or more. Revenue from these proceed could be directed to boarder security.

Can I have my pay check now?

The President does not need Congressional approval for this to happen.

Thank you to my Federal workers (brothers and sisters) in Southeast Texas and abroad who families have been effected by the shut down. All vacation has been cancelled. Tickets that were purchased and reservations that were made are all gone now. As we strap up our boots and put on our duty belt. Today as others rightfully enjoy Christmas with families and friends. Thank you for sacrificing, family, friends, and health in order to serve. You were called to this profession, much like a preacher, teacher , or a doctor are called to theirs. You are warriors with a servants heart. The consequences of putting on the uniform are reflected in who you are, no matter how many days you go without knowing not if you will get paid but when. If you have been tagged to this by someone you know, it is because they are proud to know you. We are humbly grateful for the freedoms you defend. You have stepped up to the plate when the White House, Senate and Congress didn't. Being in Federal Law enforcement changed me. Training, sacrifice, love and duty are the heart of every hero. Thank you to the Mothers who raised their right hand and swore an oath to protect the Constitution of the United States. You are out daughters, sisters and mothers. Be proud of who you are and continue to stand shoulder to shoulder with our male Federal workers. Thank you to Federal workers who don't think they deserve our gratitude. You don't need to have stood on the front line to earn our grateful appreciation. It takes many different talents to secure and defend our great nation. Some would not accept the job you took. You did not shy away; shouldering the responsibilities that we did not. This is worth a multitude of thanks.

The point I’ve tried to make while talking with folks, 6 Billion dollars to our Fed Govt is pocket change.  Everyone knows it’s not about the money with the Dems.  Trump promised his supporters a wall, so they refuse it, even though the country needs it, imo.

I was given a letter from Human Resources to provide to my creditors explaining my inability to pay. My Mortgage company is Ditech. They would not honor the letter and stated that penalties and late fees will still apply. I also went to the tax office to pay taxes on my vehicles totaling $300.00 for two cars. Provided them with the letter and they would not honor it. I wrote a check anyway and explained to them that when I checked my account today I had not received a check and probably will not until the President lifts the shut down. 

Add injury to insult, the President tweets that most furloughed workers are Democrats. He also claimed that furloughed workers were fine not getting paid during the shut down. I voted for this guy. I don't believe he is Democratic or Republican. He has done good in some areas and in others not so well ( dividing the country) STOP the tweeting. It helps no one but continues to divide. I may get backlash but I hope there is a strong and true Republican candidate that runs for office with true Christian values and sticks to principles.

Agree!  Trump still better to vote for than democrats.  I hope the dims stop stalling on the wall.  It's funny that you can watch videos from Clinton's days in the White House of prominent Dims bashing illegals and calling for tighter security at the border.  What happened?  Trump happened!

[Law Man]

He is the President of all Americans not just Republicans. He represents all of us.

Trump was the best choice out of what we had to choose from. People forget how Mr. Sanders was cheated by the DNC and Hillary. I would have voted for Sanders. He wasn't in the mix so I took the less of two....

[Law Man]

Please don't take this personal. I'm just venting. Things are getting tight and the Holidays and gifts took a bite out of my reserves. Christmas time I went all out for my kids. Maxed out a few cards in the process. Anyway life goes on. I will not be taken any gifts back. I am thankful all other agency's are not effected.

Could not vote for a man that will tax us into oblivion.  That would have been Sanders.  Socialism does not work.

Sorry for your personal loss. Hopefully it will end soon and you will get back pay for time off. The Dems or Trump could end it quickly.

In hindsight I think there were a few GOP candidates that would have our country as whole in a better place. However, the poor performance of the dems and GOP under Obama are both responsible for Trump being elected.

Law Man is right about one thing, Triump isn't a Dem or Repub, but that was part of his appeal. 

But I'll admit he goes "A Bridge to Far" sometimes.

I agree. I was disappointed when the White House was lit up in rainbow colors. Try explaining to your young ones what is allowed and what is excepted in today's society is mind boggling. My Christian values are what is most important to me and my family.
