The implication of the original post was that the federal employees being harmed by the shutdown are primarily liberals. Your post commented on the fact that they are paid with tax dollars, and seemed to suggest that anyone paid by tax dollars is a socialist (if you meant liberals, and not federal employees, please forgive my misinterpretation, although you would still be wrong.) In any case, the people I listed are not affected by the shutdown - of course I realize that - but they, too are paid with tax dollars, thus my comment.

Please stop hitting yourself. That has to hurt.

You ASSume a lot! What hurts is watching you trying to twist your way out instead of manning up and admitting that you were wrong!

stop assuming confirmation bias runs wild with my feelings. Actually stop assuming confirmation bias.

Let’s face it: the ones claiming people should have savings & are insulting others have nothing of the sort. They’re liars. They too live paycheck to paycheck, have low paying jobs because they have no skills, no savings. Most likely, they’re unemployed collecting welfare while claiming they’re self made entrepreneurs who are financially responsible. We all know it’s a load of BS.

Its been my experience that ~78% of CD posters make in the 6 figures, frequently take international flights to vacation destinations and are highly skilled. As well they never eat fast food, they go to the gym regularly, weigh the same as they did in High School and look 20 years younger than they really are.

This shutdown really needs to continue until life lessons are learned. They should have been learned as a child, but better now than never.
Why do you assume all federal employees are liberals or that only liberals are hurting during this shutdown?

LOL. You admitted you assumed liberals were worse with money, and used a conversation to confirm that feeling rather than actual look for real evidence. Yes, confirmation bias applies here.
