Should Inauguration Day be a Nat'l Holiday?

Actually, I'd like to change my vote. It should only be a holiday when a Democrat is elected.

Good point. It fits much better that way.

In that case, it would need to be a mandatory paid holiday whether you actually had a job or not.

please. Every time we have a down economic cycle that coincides with an election going forward, we will be electing the Robin Hood party.

It's already a holiday here in Memphis. I'm home early because none of my patients showed up today. Of course none of them called ahead to let me know they were canceling.

We are??????????

 

[MG1968]

no. While the smooth transition of power in the US is something to be proud of, there's no need to make it a holiday.

Send their ass a bill anyway. Refuse continued service until paid in full.

Unfortunately it doesn't work that way when you're a student. Most of the people I care for never pay a dime anyway.

 

[volmanbill]

Why not just include it on MLK day or President's day? It's 1 day earlier and many have the day off already.

It's a shame that common sense can't be taught.

I agree. It's the most "American" thing that we do and probably should be celebrated as such.

I concur.

Of course, I would work through it like most other "holidays"

we know you just got back because you been partying today.

 

[MystifyingVol]

No, it should be left up to individual businesses if they want to give the day off.
