    They can't. Unless they want to give up all the back pay they will be paid when they are back at work.

    Are you really willing to sell out Americans for Trump's ego and word salad?

    Will your landlord forego the rent for the sake of the Wall?

    Trump claims he was a landlord so he knows landlords "work with tenant" who can't pay.

    Trump is VERY sick.

    He said contractors would be afraid to get a name for not paying. In the real world, they do it all the time because there are always other subs who don't know better. Contractors are not afraid of not paying subs unless they can't find a sub to replace the fuckee.

    My guess is that MORE than 78% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck. They just do not realize it. But for some of them, the reckoning comes, because there are many among the 22% who are an unexpected disaster away from poverty. It just takes one unplanned catastrophic illness...and all the supposed safety of savings and thrift go right out the window.

    That is how many people in our country find out why some of us insist on protecting and expanding safety-net programs.

    Looking to be a victim and the zero sum game mindset go together. If you believe that for someone else to get a bigger piece of the pie means you get less and you have less, you have someone to blame for failure. Lefties tend to look for someone to blame. That way, when they fail, they already have the excuses made.

    A half hour later, 2 Supervisors showed up. I started rattling off about how I had the required 8 foot grounding rod, the #6 Ground wire, the 10' high Weatherhead, the 3 required straps on the metal conduit, and that the Meter Pan was attached to a 3/4" piece of plywood. I said "What's the Problem?". The two Supervisors looked at each other, then one of them turned to the guy and said "Hook him up".

    See. It pays to be stupid. Usually the Electric Company doesn't provide Permanent Power to half finished Houses.
    They also don't supply power to non-existent houses that are a figment of your imagination.

    Spot on. It is really sad that these morons want more Obamunism after the malaise of his eight years. It is proof that they are only capable of operating at an emotional level and not intellectual.
