"I think if missing one paycheck causes you to have to go to food banks and ask for financial assistance, you have a bigger problem than a temporary delay of receiving your pay."

While the media raves on about the latest caravan in exploiting the slowdown conflict, they miss the irony of how people who make a dollar a day can save $5,000 to pay a coyote to bring them to America while career government workers are unable to feed themselves within a week of missing a paycheck that is still guaranteed.

Maybe these hopeful immigrants do have something valuable to offer.

Many government “workers” at all levels of government and all levels of employment are parasites. Their jobs are either make-work, useless or malignant. While they may work hard, they produce nothing but headaches for Citizens whom they despise. RIF these nonessential drones.

There has not been a recession in D.C. since 1947

Pay raises pretty much every year..a job for life and you do not have to work if you do not want to.

Only a complete moron would have not seen that election of a dem house would likely lead to a protracted shutdown. Wait we are talking about government employees!
