So, this government shutdown thing is a big, stinky load of BS. Apparently, it's even worse if you live in DC and work for the government. Aaron Meyers joins us to Tawk it out. Bring your ire!

I AM Tawking from a tent. From somewhere called Cloudland.

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:01 AM

No kidding.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:02 AM

sounds about right :P
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:02 AM

So, Aaron, how's it going on your end?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:02 AM

its good to be allowed to work again
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:02 AM

oddly enough though since we have to follow our regular schedules this week, im not working tomorrow
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:03 AM

so meh, the system
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:03 AM

Um, yeah - so, that's why we're here today.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:03 AM

true
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:03 AM

To discuss just that kind of bullshit.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:04 AM

this may be a long tawk or a short one, we all know this is a topic thats had a lot of spread lately
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:04 AM

Give us a quick rundown.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:04 AM

including on tawker
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:05 AM

It's true. But, I think something that people might not realize is that people who work for the government IN DC have had it a little worse than people who work for the government everywhere else.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:05 AM

well people who are contractors actually had it even worse
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:06 AM

and people who work in dc local government a bit worse too
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:06 AM

Oooh, I didn't even think about those guys!
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:06 AM

yeah
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:06 AM

you see, contractors, dont even get the option of congress voting to pay them backpay
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:07 AM

and dc government was allowed to work, but it took something that was technically illegal to make it happen
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:07 AM

Wow. So they're just SOL on that pay for two weeks? Or can they file for unemployment?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:07 AM

they're still employed they dont get access to that federal exemption
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:07 AM

most of the contractors i knew used vacation days or simply did without
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:08 AM

Shitty.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:08 AM

i agree Tom

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:08 AM

Ha - I AM making it happen. I am...in a tent.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:09 AM

now DC government, actually unlike any other city, doesnt have spending authority over their budget
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:09 AM

it gets approved by congress
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:09 AM

Ha!
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:09 AM

Wow.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:09 AM

this means, that a shutdown, prevents them from using funds they already raised themselves
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:09 AM

without any help from federal government
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:10 AM

the mayor, was only able to keep people out of trouble by declaring everyone working for the city as essential
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:10 AM

and using emergency funds to tide them over
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:10 AM

which, once again is techincally illegal, you cant just declare everyone essential
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:10 AM

So...you guys (federal employees) have known that even filing for unemployment would not result in payment...
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:10 AM

but he sorta dared congress to do something about it
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:11 AM

LOL
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:11 AM

we would get paid, until they run out of cash
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:11 AM

And they can't so anything when they're on paid vacation!
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:11 AM

right
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:11 AM

SO HOW MANY federal employees are there in DC? I have no clue.

seth thats actually one of the myths of this shutdown id like to talk about
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:13 AM

i actually have a very deep previous history in marketing, and the people talking about those polls are missing the forest for the trees
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:14 AM

my take on what they did is very different
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:14 AM

the first thing to remember about these polls is that they are useless until overlayed on a congressional district map
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:14 AM

I'm interested - I am still looking for the point of the whole thing, myself...
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:14 AM

if 90% of people hate what the gop did
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:15 AM

but 75% of those people polled are in democratic districts that arent prone to change, then it doesnt matter
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:15 AM

Oh. Well that's a disturbing thought.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:15 AM

what any tea party strategist was probably aiming for was probably framing
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:15 AM

you see, everyone hated the GOP
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:15 AM

Of what?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:16 AM

they did horrible in polls
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:16 AM

but what everyone saw, and will probably remember is government disfunction
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:16 AM

and services that did not work
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:16 AM

when people lose trust in the government, which group profits the most?
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:16 AM

And jobs that disappeared.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:16 AM

the guys who were already telling you you cant trust the government
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:16 AM

the tea party
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:17 AM

The people with power.
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:17 AM

Yes.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:17 AM

so, theyre hoping you remember the disfunction more than you remember ted cruz' face
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:17 AM

which will work with many people
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:18 AM

he doesnt have to become president all he has to do is control the dialogue of the contest
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:18 AM

It can't be that easy...
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:18 AM

it really is becky
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:18 AM

what ted cruz can do at this point and after this stunt, is prevent a too moderate republican from being the winner of the nomination
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:19 AM

I don't like that.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:19 AM

but unless there are a few changes going forward it wont be hard for it to work that way
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:20 AM

his recommendation is going to control a lot of funding
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:20 AM

id also like to point out the GOP raised twice the funds in this quarter than last year
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:20 AM

most of it during the shutdown
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:21 AM

a much bigger up trend than what democrats raised by comparison
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:21 AM

Doesn't that just make you sick! Wow.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:22 AM

well the system doesnt get fixed without first recognizing what people are really doing
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:22 AM

and money usually reveals truth in DC
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:22 AM

It's not just that Republicans are holding more money right now, it's that they made a lot of ot when about a million Americans were suddenly out of work.

there is the cost of lost business not only from contractors but businesses local to national parks

Aaron Meyers · 1:23 AM

there is lost revenue from taxes and fines
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:24 AM

there is also the fact that china is now very vocally encouraging international markets to not invest heavily in the united states
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:24 AM

which is going to raise interest rates in the long term and maintain there status as our primary debt holder

Aaron Meyers · 1:24 AM

to a yet higher degree

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:26 AM

I mean, there was so much ANGER this time...
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:26 AM

they'll at least get close
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:26 AM

right up againsti t
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:27 AM

the only thing that would prevent them from doing it again, is whether or not this experience has given john boehner enough political capital to raise an unpopular vote
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:27 AM

Good God. That's our light at the end of the tunnel? John Boehner?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:28 AM

actually it is
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:28 AM

you see right now, you kind of have to look at the house GOP like they're Iran
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:28 AM

:D
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:28 AM

the leadership is fucked up, but you want to take it on the chin and help them out, cuz the yahoo who would replace them is 10 times worse
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:29 AM

thats john boehner, the guy who is at least not as bad as the replacement
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:29 AM

Well, in that context, he IS a little less grating on the ears...
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:30 AM

he actually has a record of allowing several votes that most of the GOP doesnt support
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:30 AM

and the popular thought is that this would have been one of those too many if he had allowed an early vote
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:30 AM

so hed get replaced by an even more extremist republican
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:31 AM

the other theory that has some merit, is he let the strategy fail long enough that less people will demand he caves to his tea party faction
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:31 AM

and maybe future votes will be by a wide enough margin to keep him in power
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:31 AM

but make no mistake, hes horrible, but it could have been worse
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:32 AM

I just...I get so IRRITATED at the conniving that is politics that I can't even string together coherent sentences.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:32 AM

personally i was expecting us to be out until mid november
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:33 AM

so while this time has been horrible i was happily surprised
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:33 AM

Well, I'm pleased for you. It's good to be able to work.
AM

people are political creatures becky, you either hold the line against the crazies, or the crazies win
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:34 AM

thats the only reason im in DC versus private industry
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:34 AM

That's the thing, though - it's hard to tell who's who these days because no one tells the truth.
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:35 AM

I mean, you do, but politicians are, well, politicians.
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:35 AM

It seems like the general populous is crazy, and politicians are another kind of crazy, so who does that leave?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:36 AM

dont focus on the politicans, the best advice ive had on this topic is to focus on big goals
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:36 AM

pick the most attractive big goal you can find and focus on what supports that
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:36 AM

heres a challenge for you, just by example
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:36 AM

Okay.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:37 AM

think of all the big important inventions or additions to society in the past oh say,...140 years
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:37 AM

name me a single one that wasnt built upon the public/private partnership
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:37 AM

and usually the US government/private parntership
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:37 AM

Explain the public/private partnership.
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:38 AM

You mean, like, with grants and support from the government and the private sector?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:38 AM

government setting a big goal, laying some groundwork, and getting private industry to monetize and spread it
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:38 AM

doesnt have to be grants, it could be as simple as sharing something that was developed in government with the public
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:38 AM

I feel like there must be examples of major advances that happened by chance...
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:39 AM

Audience?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:39 AM

for example the internet, which was developed by the government, and then basically gifted to private industry to monetize innovate and spread
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:40 AM

Electricity. Telephones. Satellite communications. Automobiles.
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:40 AM

I've got nothing that's independent.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:40 AM

now imagine if the guy who invented it (Dr Kahn) worked for a private company
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:40 AM

it would be propritary
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:40 AM

it would have spread first to just large companies
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:40 AM

then distributed out
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:40 AM

meaning internet technology would be set back decades
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:41 AM

wed be like if it was in early 90's stages even now
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:41 AM

See you (MUCH) later, Tawkers...
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:41 AM

this is the real value of government, big goals and groundwork that others can carry on
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:42 AM

I'm glad you mention that - because I think most of us were looking for a value in government right about now. :)
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:42 AM

the EPA for example can regulate greenhouse gasses until doomsday, it wont matter unless we encourage companies to actually have that big goal of being clean
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:42 AM

and doomsday would be closer to like, 2050
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:43 AM

Isn't it? But that's another Tawk.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:43 AM

so pick your big goals, thats what should be important to you in government
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:43 AM

then look at what politicans do with those big ggoals
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:43 AM

it just has to be truly big
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:44 AM

like
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:44 AM

RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:45 AM

Well, what I usually see is a whole lot of piddly noting that politicians do with big goals like fixing public education according to a model for the modern world.
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:45 AM

Or worse, a whole lot of mess-making, which is what happened with public education lately.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:45 AM

well heres the big question though
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:45 AM

is what they're talking about a big goal?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:46 AM

the first test is what happens when the hit failure
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:46 AM

a true big goal, they'll do something tweak it and continue to chase
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:46 AM

In terms of education? Usually not. They talk about paperwork.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:46 AM

if they decide to drop the topic, it was just a project
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:46 AM

I see your point.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:46 AM

thats where democrats usually win a lot of votes
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:47 AM

sure obamacare might have a TON of problems right now
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:47 AM

but people agree in principle that you shouldnt die for being poor
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:47 AM

so they believe in the goal and say we'll fix it as we go
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:47 AM

Yup. And a lot of people I know are pretty damned excited at the prospect of having healthcare again, or even for the first time.
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:48 AM

I see that.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:48 AM

by contrast even the republican goal of self sufficiency is a big goal
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:48 AM

and they'll keep trying to get as much as possible
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:48 AM

on the faith that when they fuck up they'
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:48 AM

ll fix it as they go
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:48 AM

its the things you chase even after a setback
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:49 AM

the ironic part is, if the shutdown didnt happen, the headlines would have been dominated by problems with the obamacare rollout
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:49 AM

which, probably would have won them more against it in future negotiations
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:49 AM

LOL. So, maybe it was all a conspiracy after all - by the Obama administration!
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:50 AM

the web problems are actually a fairly simplistic modeling issue
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:51 AM

Yeah. And, really, everything is buggy when it first rolls out.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:51 AM

whats happening is, when designing the sites, states had to decide if they were going to encourage subisidies or not
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:51 AM

and if they did, would they do it by forcing people to the appropritate subsidy
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:51 AM

Encourage subsidies of/by/for whom?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:51 AM

well the only way to do that is to collect information that allows them to query all kinds of government databases that then put you in the right catagory
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:52 AM

subsidies to the average person to buy the appropriate health care
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:52 AM

Ah.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:52 AM

the states that dont have problems
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:52 AM

what they do
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:52 AM

is they let you window shop
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:52 AM

then ask for the paperwork to prove you should get the plan you are asking for
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:53 AM

much simplier process, less opportunity for error
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:53 AM

I see.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:53 AM

and while everything is buggy to begin with, i think it was still sloppy
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:53 AM

they could have called it a beta release and started signups months before the fact
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:54 AM

at least expectations would have been appropriate
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:54 AM

So what you're saying, again, is that government, when it works best, is a vehicle for pushing larger social goals forward - like Obamacare.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:54 AM

truthfullly the problems have been so big with the rollout that someone should have been fired
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:54 AM

And I think you're right.
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:54 AM

Beta release is safer and gives time to work out kinks.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:55 AM

its a vehicle for pushing large goals forward, but with a partnership
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:55 AM

in general when government tries to acheive something alone, it fails
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:55 AM

So...are you saying that the government itself has maybe lost sight of that? Have we lost sight of that?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:56 AM

i dont know, i dont think we have a big goal right now
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:56 AM

the big goal might just be the debt, i think thats the closest we have
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:56 AM

Well, by your definitions, that would be a problem, wouldn't it.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:56 AM

no, because we keep trying things even after we've failed to get something working
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:56 AM

I don't think we have a cohesive goal as a people, wither.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:57 AM

and there are some dramatic acheivements being made in pursuit of that goal
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:57 AM

not in all the right areas, but in some places
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:57 AM

THe goal of ending debt?
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:57 AM

reducing it to a managable figure
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:57 AM

and making sure that the trend isnt catastrophic
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:58 AM

and as an upper goal,acheiving some sort of economic growth where the only way to get out of a recession is massive spending
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 1:58 AM

I think you might be right. Ithinkthat is a big goal and it might actually unite government and citizens alike. If we could just find a way to talk about it that isn't divisive.
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:59 AM

well part of that problem is we pay an inordinate amount of money to old people
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:59 AM

social security healthcare medicare medicade
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:59 AM

etc
AM

Aaron Meyers · 1:59 AM

and those old people are usually those who control campaign funding
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 2:00 AM

True. (I rescinded my old people jokes)
AM

Aaron Meyers · 2:00 AM

if you project foward, our current uncovered liabilities for social security alone approach 80 trillion dollars
AM

Aaron Meyers · 2:00 AM

but if you mention social security reform, youve lost every dime and every vote older than 60 years of age
RT

Rebecca Westbrook Toker · 2:00 AM

But...a lot of that should be covered by Social Security Contributions.

that 80 trillion is the current amount that wont be covered by contributions

THe government should never have begun touching that trust fund.
