Victories in Government Budget and Spending

I used to work for the Army at an R& D center in NJ, from 1989-1999 during at least 2 Government shutdowns…it is such a waste of time and money as they usually pay back employees retroactively during the shutdown. The only Government employees that should NOT get paid are those that make the laws and control the budget…Members of Congress do your jobs!
Stephen supported: Hold Congress Accountable: No Pay or Benefits During Government Shutdowns
As the United States veteran and a child of two different races I am appalled at the president and his administration. My families history has created the tapestry that is America. We are a blended family like so many others in America and it is absolutely heartbreaking the abusive power solely so one race or group of people can succeed, that is not how it was raised and that is not the America I grew up in. I fully believe if Congress is going to stop the payment of other federal employees and they themselves should no longer receive a paycheck! The hypocrisy that is continuing to surround this Administration has got to stop now!
Jenny supported: Hold Congress Accountable: No Pay or Benefits During Government ShutdownsAs a federal employee who is required to still come to work as essential personnel, knowing Congress has stopped all payroll for federal employees to include essential personnel until an agreement is reached, really drives the point that Congress shouldn’t be paid either as federal employees or representatives until a funding bill is accepted Los
Donald supported: Hold Congress Accountable: No Pay or Benefits During Government ShutdownsMy father, Karl Hein, died bringing oil to Alaska. He also served during WW2 in Alaska.
He would be very angry today to see how Alaskans are having the oil revenues being stolen by a greedy government.
The PFD was set up for the people of Alaska. It is not for funding pet projects of politicians.
Give the money back.
Star supported: Petition to Restore and Protect the Permanent Fund DividendAlaskans are fed up with being treated like an afterthought while our elected officials reward themselves with raises and mismanage the budget. The Permanent Fund Dividend was created to ensure that every Alaskan shares in the wealth of our natural resources—not to be siphoned off to cover political shortfalls. Meanwhile, schools are closing, community centers are shuttered, and families are struggling to afford heating fuel just to survive the winter. If budgeting a government is hard, try budgeting a household with no safety net. We demand accountability, transparency, and the restoration of the full PFD. It’s time our leaders remembered who they serve.
Schultz supported: Petition to Restore and Protect the Permanent Fund DividendThe dividend is used for winter preparation for Alaskans. Taking from the money we have made through tourism and living should not be handled by greedy people that won’t even put the funds towards anything else besides their pockets. Schools need funding police departments need funding construction companies that work for the state need to be able to fix the roads and bridges ect that we use daily it is absolutely devastating to see the decline in our economy when the elites live their best lives. There are children that depend on those funds for school clothes and fees there are parents that are depending on that to help them make ends meet because school just started everyone had to spend 1000$ -5,000 on school supplies. Some families have 10 kids some have 1 the issue is that it needs to go back to where it’s supposed to go or something else needs to happen with whose in charge
Jennifer supported: Petition to Restore and Protect the Permanent Fund DividendNot only the fires, mudslides, homeless, traffic, lack of infrastructure, but the entire legal system. Lost my beautiful 30 year old son in a DUI hit and run in Ventura, and the defendant served three months is a county jail. Similar stories abound. Newsom sets the tone and the tone is tone deaf.
Bella supported: Recall California Governor, Gavin NewsomHomeless is an all time high in my small town. My kids cannot walk to school or play in the neighborhoods in town. I’m a single mother and working pay check to pay check. Inflation is ridiculous and rent has gone up so much I can barely feed my children. But don’t qualify for assistance because I make to much.
Alicia supported: Recall Gavin Newsom! Enough is Enough - Reclaim CaliforniaYou’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
