Sure... well after the fact. Not many Americans can go without pay during this time or year regardless of getting paid later on.

Yeah man, its not like there is this other entire network of people and organizations that can offer the same type of lifestyle and compensation. Man, if only this country had an interstate network of businesses offering wide ranges of occupations and good compensation with benefits to boot. Wow, it would be awesome if we just had some kind of ecosystem people could participate in in order to make a living.

Just wanted to make sure you're down with that.
I mean, who doesn't like federal dollars for a 95 percent fail rate while they get a little too touchy feely in the security line?

If there's one thing that Trump had a mandate on

its the wall. but he repeatedly said that Mexico would fund it.
I'm ok with that and it could be accomplished by taxing western union transfers to Mexico.
