When the construction manager mismanages the job and needs to layoff people for a couple days its not an act of God either. Who pays them for the missed work?

As I said, I would have them show up to work instead of keeping them at home.

The sequester shutdown was not a paid vacation.

NO PAY FOR GOV WORKERS DURING A SHUTDOWN. NO BACK-PAY AFTER IT’S OVER.


Sheesh. That's what you care about?

That a DoD nurse at Walter Reed taking care of our servicemen and women or Border Patrol agent gets their paycheck?

Drop the pettiness and grow up. There are much bigger things to be concerned about (blocking amnesty, border security, the wall, ending chain migration, and full funding for our military.

So today on school announcements at our CA middle school, they announced that if any student with absences wants to, they can go on a school-sponsored trip to the million woman march. The school will then get ADA money for making up for absences with their attendance. Taxpayers are paying schools to bring marchers!

pattern. They did the same when kids didn’t attend to march for illegal immigration. Cal schools are liberal shitholes at least in the big cities.

That’s because Obama and his goons had all the power, they didnt think they needed more voters..now they realize that they do..white voters are turning away from the Dem party and the Dems need to replace them with illegals who they can control forever with free Govt goodies

We need a balanced budget amendment to the constitution to stop all this crap.

Article 5 convention of the states to achieve that.

Yes it is, otherwise your spell checker would let you know with those red wriggly lines underneath the word.

The last time there was a shutdown, Obama did all he could to make it hurt US.

Remember Obunghole had the Park Service cone off roadside parking areas and told citizens they could not stop to look at the view of National Parks. I really think at that point someone should have stopped at one and then beat the crud out of any form of government agent who tried to stop them from looking.

Not to mention the taxpayers paid for the bus to take them to the march. They announced they had room for 60 students on the bus from our school alone!

Do they cart students to pro-life marches?/sarc
