Budget Shutdown may be midnight Friday.

I received some emails from an organization in my state once a while. What do you think of this one? I don't know if that is true or not. The article was about a government shutdown...

It's too bad that I would love to ride on a high-speed train and visit my sister. I hate to drive for two days and the flights are some too expensive now. Recently, I flew to S.C. and the turbulence was pretty bad in the first flight, and the second flight was just alright.

Texas...

No State income tax
Low biz tax
$65 annual car tax
Property Tax....semi-high.......unless you have a couple of cows or horses.

As for the shutdown, maybe it will wake some people up to how much debt we are in. Probably not though.

Should be good wnough for Texas to become their own country lol

$65 annual tax for all cars, regardless on value year?

Interesting, annual tax for car in here is varies by county to county and depending on value/year, in our county, old mid 1990's truck is only around $35 per year.

It varies a little bit. Ours are taxed based on weight. Most are between $58-65

I support temporary Government shutdown as it is a wake-up call for Government employers.

I hope so, but we shall see what will happen after the shutdown.

Texas was actually considering about a secession a few years but it did not fall through.

I'm thinking it'll affect government EMPLOYEES.

Yea, my husband is one of them. This will set us back financially since he earns more than I do. Oh well.

The government and presidents and will not be affected by the shut down! They will still get paid! I heard on the news military jets will flying over the field for the red sox game! I find this outrageous that we'll spending our money to have jets fly for a damn game when the budget could be shuting down! The buget isa mess and government is paying for this! WTF is going on!

Why don't we donate to Uncle Sam?

I think we already do that; a "suggested" donation AKA income taxes.

 

[Beach girl]

The companies will not allow them to miss payments without charging interest and penalties. That includes military families who don't get paid. .

Actually, there was a long article in the Washington Post today about Federal credit unions stepping up to make no or very low cost short-term loans to their members.

But it's moot for the moment, anyway, since hallelujah, Congress managed to come to agreement for an extension for another few days. Bipartisan disgust may have gotten to them.

Finally, now, government shutdown is averted.
Democrats, Republicans agree on a budget deal - CNN.com

Thanks to Obama, Boehner and Reid to settle with spending bill.

Flyovers are done as part of routine training exercises. Timing to arrive at the moment of the last note (not always accomplished) is considered a valuable training tool. No extra expense is incurred doing a flyover.
