I know I'm going to regret digging this up, but I finally got my 135 initial done yesterday, that I mention was originally scheduled for Oct 8th on page (2) of this thread
We have scheduled and rescheduled so many times, originally for shut down, then our POI lost his certification rights because he timed out, then couldn't do his check ride due to weather, then weather in December and Christmas Eve as a date, and finally the first attempt this month was -15 and a half blizzard.

92,232,295 working age adults are currently unemployed in the USA and the number is increasing.
$17,338,542,000,000 total USA national debt and is increasing.
Of that, $5,825,309,000,000 is owed to foreign countries and is increasing.
$652,836,000,000 USA's current Federal Budget Deficit for fiscal 2014 (Washington is still spending more money than it takes in)
......
How do you think this is going to end? We've already spent $2,600,000,000,000 on interest payments. That's $2.6 trillion we'll never get back. Imagine if we had that money to spend on our own country???

Either way women and minorities will be reported as hardest hit.
