Which is a great, great thing really. (Except when we're massively in debt.)
I live in your head.
Actually I work for myself. So your point is?
What would I DO?!?! I'd buy my teenaged son a Corvette... THAT'S what I'd do...

doing what?
What does it matter and what business is it of yours? Please make your point.
I think he's just trying to ascertain how you might take federal funds.
Well before I had my byp**** I had a county medical card and 200$ a month in food stamps - for about a year. Those were actually from the state of Nevada. Once healthy and able to feed myself I was back on my own. Last time I checked that's what that was for. Short term aid for those that need it as opposed to a career.
my point is....you're on the govt tit.....whether you receive it directly.....your employer does....or your customers do....
So are we back to you didn't build it? And I know you work hard for what you do. It's work I'm not cut out for.
you accused me of receiving "frivolous overpayment".........without considering from where your payment comes...
you should think about it over lunch.....while you're at it.....think about that lunch and what it might cost if adm controlled it from seed to table...
Ok....that's interesting. I hope you weren't taking offense to my question. I was honestly just curious. I'm not sure how I totally feel about the Government paying you if you don't need it. I can understand part of the crop insurance thing. After all, the Government has a vested interest in our crops producing each year don't they?
I would think that 87s case is a little different than my tax deductions from MY ACTUAL EARNINGS. But yes, I take every single tax deduction I can....because in my opinion, it's my money...not the Governments and they think they are entitlted to WAY too much of it.
87s scenario sounds a bit different, and I'm just not sure how it works. That's why I'm asking. I'm not trying to be a jerk at all.
the govt should have an interest in maintaining a safe/quality/abundant/affordable/stable food supply....
city slickers like to **** about monsanto......how would you feel if monsanto/adm/cargill owned all the land....and your food was controlled from the seed/seedstock(livestock).....all the way to the table? and what do you think it would cost you at the grocery store?
the payments have ensured the survival of the family farm....
i think it's now to the point those who don't need it are weaned from everything but the crop insurance........nothing wrong with the govt being there as a safety net in cases of weather disasters.....
Ours get cut at least one, but generally twice a week. We have our own contract for landscaping.
1 day a week for 11 weeks, our supervisor said pick a day and make sure the paperwork matches. I can't complain, but I think it will end up being cancelled after 2 weeks.
I'm looking at it like I'll have a bit more time to take small vacations this year. Go to the lake more, float the river, take less leave when I go on a trip
I won't complain b/c it could have been a lot worse and I think it will be good for me. I'll get some of my summer back
Any DoD civilians get their notice yet?
Sequester is fed speak for Now Hiring; government posts 27,000 high-paying job openings

furlough is supposed to start July 8th, so I suspect we will get them in 2 weeks unless they are reduced any further by then
at this point, I just want to know what day its going to be on, so I can plan out all the "house" projects I have been putting off.
Commissaries shutting down on Mondays for, I think, 11 weeks starting July 8th ...
Secretary of Defense says notices go out between May 28 and June 5th. I think we're getting ours today or tomorrow.
Just got word that ours are being delayed until a formal process can be done between all services and agencies on base. They can't even figure out how to furlough people right..lol.
I think they are delaying it as long as they can in the hope that maybe a budget gets passed before they actually have to do the cuts.
they're always closed mondays.....
the closures are for tuesdays
my bro in law is an engineer down here at eglin afb.....he got his furlough notice ....i don't know the details yet
Not Sill...it is open 7 days a week...originally they were talking about Wednesdays but the latest looks like Monday...they're always closed mondays.....
the closures are for tuesdays
vance will be closed mondays and tuesdays
interesting, I haven't heard a word about it other than what I knew a week ago
I'm sure mine's coming, just don't know exactly when at this point
Supervisors had them today but said **** it. They have to print each one, have it signed by employee, scan, and upload individually. Extremely ridiculous..

Many bases that is true, but I know TAFB it isn't.they're always closed mondays.....

i am on furlough friday and monday - with another day in late june....
Yep. I just signed my furlough proposal letter today.
Mondays are the furlough day. Commisary's and overseas CDC's will adjust their schedules to this. My CDC will only be working from Tues-Fri until this is over.they're always closed mondays.....
the closures are for tuesdays
No doubt about it, all of DeCA will be closed on Mondays starting Jul. 08. There are actually 13 Mondays between now and the end of the fiscal year, with 1 of them being a holiday. So I guess we'll get a Monday back sometime down the road.
email I received this morning said "per AFLCMC and AFSC guidance, expect Friday to be out primary furlough day."
*hasmixedemotions*
really?

Tuesdays are only if the commissary is normally closed on Monday.

Do I need to spell this out for you? If you are normally closed on Monday then you have to chose another day as well. But Mondays are the furlough day for all of DeCA. And how do i know this? I'm a supervisor at DeCA.

Air Force Cancels Furloughs For Tinker Workers Whose Homes Were Destroyed By Storms In OklahomaBy Chris Casteel WASHINGTON -- Civilian workers at Tinker Air Force Base who lost their homes in the recent storms that struck central Oklahoma will be exempted from the furloughs that will begin next month for most other employees.
"This is the right thing to do," Air Force Secretary Mike Donley said Monday. "Despite some facing devastating personal circumstances, our Oklahoma-based civilian employees have shown their resilience time and time again. The least we can do is remove this additional burden."
The exceptions from the furloughs are for those whose homes were destroyed or rendered uninhabitable.
More than 14,000 Tinker employees are expected to be furloughed for 11 days through Sept. 30. The first furlough day for Defense Department civilian workers is July 8.
^^ Was in paper yesterday or over weekend. I think we're getting our notices today.
I just got my notice a few minutes ago. Signed it and now await furlough the week of July 8th, which is going to be a fun 2 week period for me. I'll be off July 4th-8th, come in the 9th-11th and then be off 12-14. All while only losing 1 day of pay. Then we have 5 pay periods of only 80% pay going forward but we also get paid 3 times in August so it won't be as hard to deal with most people really thought.
Just don't be wreckless with your money and this will blow over fairly quickly. It might not even go through to 21 September 2013, we might have the funds to keep operations going or to reduce furlough days again in the next month or two.
I just signed for mine as well and I'm not going to freak out about it, like some around here are. We've known it was coming for a while and I've made the necessary budget adjustments that I'll be fine.

President Obama and his family will be going to Africa later this month. But the trip won't be cheap; it's expected to cost American taxpayers $60 to $100 million, according to the Washington Post.
Nice
