I always feel like I'm way too ignorant of how politics works that it's best that I leave my thoughts unsaid. Even when I research and stay informed, someone more knowledgeable comes out of the woodworks and points out how wrong I am.

So this is me saying nothing about the government shutdown.

FAR: 50, 76!
REG: 74... (ouch baby, very ouch), 76!
AUD: 65, 91!?
BEC: 80! Aaaand doneskies!

May 2012 to August 2013. Can't believe it's over.

1. There's no such thing as FARE on the CPA exam 😉

2. As long as the IRS continues to process tax returns, our soldiers get paid, old people get SS, and the post office keeps bringing in my receivables then all of the blowhards in congress can squawk and pout all they want. Those are essential services!

3. Glad to hear the “non-essential” services us taxpayers foot the bill for have been identified! Now that we've cleared that up, we can stop paying for $hit we don't need with money we don't have. That's called fiscal responsibility, which CPAs are pros at.

4. Congress should be comprised of CPAs. We'd hash it out, review it, journalize it, post it, and bill it out in time for happy hour. Done. 😉

REG: 75 DONE 🙂
AUD: 61, 71, 68, 92 DONE 🙂
BEC: 76 DONE 🙂
FAR: 72, 74, 79 DONE 🙂

In the past year or so, I've wondered if they make all those high up politicians (congress, Senators, President, etc…) take/pass a test? Like our CPA exam. And if not, why the heck not? We're all supposed to protect the public… right?

The difference in winning & losing is most often, not quitting - Walt Disney

B - 33, 71, 79!
A - 32, 61, 70, 83!
R - 33, 58, 73, 69, 81!
F - 47, 78! 🙂
After 3 long years, I'm finally DONE!
I could not have done it without NINJA MCQs.

Food for thought. Someone/few super clever individuals made a tonne (obviously billions of dollars) from this shutdown. That's what I call brilliant move. While everyone is quibbling about the “ACA” using that as an excuse for shut down. 1% of the 1% are celebrating because every minute of this shutdown someone is rolling in money. In my imaginary world that's me.

There is always a winner in CRISIS. And its not the little guy. Because we are always fighting yesterdays fight people couldn't be bothered with new laws which will shape our future.

I read in an article and it mentioned “appropriations” and I KNEW WHAT THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT! 😀

I'm sad about the national parks. Seeing as I'm in the middle of studying, I'm not taking any trips to national parks soon but I always hit them up when I travel. If that's an “unnecessary spending”, I understand but still. 🙁

just seems so unFARE!

BEC - 35, 62, 79!
AUD - 73, 75!
FAR - 65, 73, 70, 75! DONE.

I'm not going to really contribute anything, but I just wanted to say I'm impressed (and also thank everyone) that this hasn't turned into some childish, political, finger-pointing thread. Way to act like adults, guys! That's more than I can say for my Facebook feed.
