Hmmmm... not quite clear on who isn't getting paid. Sorry... did you say gov't workers? Gov't workers in Washington, DC?
Time to thin the herd....
Ill be happy when I see FORECLOSURE signs all over the DC burbs!
Good, they will learn how to eat at cheap restaurants, buy a smaller home, live without like the rest of us peasants.... Let them eat cake.
I am GLAD zero.s gubmint is shut down...all a bunch of crooks anyway.....
at least a couple hundred thousand federal government employees need to be furloughed permanenetly as far as I’m concerned.
How does this compare to the millions without work/pay that the gov has created in the private sector?
Let government and it’s hangers-on experience some uncertainty for a change
Let the Commies see how it feels to NOT get paid.
Keep it shut down.
Maybe they’ll go home, read a book, and learn a trade.
Everyone will get paid even if it is retroactive.
Hmmm. Lotta hate in this thread. The broad-brush swipes at all federal employees are especially disappointing to this conservative. Like all broad brushes, the swipes are messy, inaccurate, and unfair. Some of us work very hard for a mission. In my case, it’s overseeing the testing of new aircraft and amphibious systems before they get dumped on the warfighters. Not a mission you support? Why not?
And for the record, no bill has been passed by either house that repays us civilian employees for time on furlough. You know-the same way we lost pay during the Sequestration-induced furloughs. No mention has been made of reducing our work commensurate with work time available. Just the pay is reduced.
TC
ok.
Unfortunately none of them will be senators, congressmen, or members of the administration.
So what? There has never been a federal employee that gave a damn about my self-employed paycheck.
LLS
Hundreds of thousands of bureaucratic LEACHES will be without a paycheck. Obama will be without the assistant to the assistant food taster. Government snoops will be snooping less. Waste, fraud, & abuse goes on furlough.
Where is the downside?
paid vacation you mean
they will receive the money they would have earned after the shutdown is over
-———an orderly shutdown due to the absence of appropriations-——
an absence of appropriations........ hmmm
That means, in accordance with the Constitutuon, the Executive Branch must curtail functions because of prior abuse by both the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch to make the necessary appropriations in and orderly and acceptable fashion.
The current House of Representatives Legislative Branch is insisting that it’s power previously usurped be returned. The House is attempting to gain the constitutional control over appropriations. The failed Executive Branch is resorting to total distortion and outright lies to continue to usurp the House’s role.
If the President prevails, he is placing his life in danger. His treacherous tyranny will not end well.
The Federal contractors will start screaming bloody murder soon...... I cannot see how they are going to be paid during this shutdown. Some of these contractors do useful real world work for the Federales while many are being paid for doing useless crap same as 50% of FedGov workers are doing make work, nothing useful
Kinda annoying that they tell them not to do any work but they will get back pay when they go back to work.
fire /em all.....not needed
