The Republican shutdown bill manages 51 ‘yes’ votes in the Senate, while the Democrat CR manages 52.
Considering the Republicans outnumber Democrats by 8 in the Senate, that’s a bad sign for them. The Democrat bill achieved a majority in both sides of the legislature...something the wall funding bill has no hope of accomplishing...and forced Republicans to vote against a two week stopgap that would have undone a lot of the harm to federal workers and programs.

Used to be the stable choice, not so much right now.
I worry from time to time about what my retirement will look like. I mean, I get that my 401k should be OK from gov't mishaps but the pension itself? Who pays me if the gov't is radically changed by events between now and then?
Your 401k can be seize at any time, don’t kid yourself.

Really? That's fucked.

401ks are particularly vulnerable. There are trillions in defined contribution plans and the inequality gap between intersections is larger there than in income or other savings rates. IIRC during the last election Sanders (or was the green candidate?) proposed eliminating many of the tax advantages of them in favor of some government run plan as well. Just understand what you are supporting when you vote progressive.
Trust me when I say that the last thing on my mind when I vote is my 401k. I'm more worried about how the person's ideas will affect Americans as a whole.
