President Barack Obama laid the blame for the U.S. government's partial shutdown at the feet of House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner on Thursday...With 800,000 federal government employees forced into taking leave, some agencies have almost entirely shuttered, including NASA, the Commerce Department and the Environmental Protection Agency.

20,546,000 people were discharged/laid off from their jobs in 2012. Many are still unemployed. I feel terrible for anyone who loses their job including the 800,000 during this temporary shutdown. We all know that most jobs are not secure and that's a reality and fear every American lives with every single day. Government employees are not more entitled to their jobs than any other citizen. Their plight is not worse than the other Americans who want to work and can't find jobs. Let's be sure that these 800,000 who are temporarily laid off are not considered in more distress than the 15 million or so others who are currently unemployed and struggling.

This communists pric! willing to destroy millions of Americans with his failed and corrupt policy and complain about 800K ass hat government workers that will get back pay anyway. It is just a paid vacation and that lying piece of garbage makes me sick. Also I hear that the deficit is rolling backward. So what! It will roll forward at a huge pace to catch up to the negative when these butt holes get the back pay.

BUMP a great thread title.
Mark Levin has loudly made the same point: The Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms don’t care about everyday Americans. They care only about their God, government.

But his 800k still get paid. These shutdowns are a joke. I say, make them sign up for unemployment.

He considers non-government employees and employers as “the enemy”.

If all these people are “Non Essential” which loosely translated means Not Required or NOT Necessary.
Make their furlough Permanent with no Pay.
Every department should shake out non essential people.
Meybe the rest of us could keep our earnings and live a little better.

I’m sorry those 800,000 are laid off but I’m not sorry that they’re getting a taste of what job insecurity is like for public sector employees.

If the National parks are down, where are they getting all these Arseholes guarding statues on a lawn? Why do we need them anyways?

I wish no one had to experience it but what is unfair is they think they are above it.

Everyone seems lulled into the same violin playing for these “special” workers. Not more special than anyone else except in their minds.

Thank you Republicans for not backing down and shutting down the government!

Awesome strategy by the Republican House. I’m so happy the stupid government is shut down. maybe now Americans will realize that government is not needed as nothing is happening even though the gov is shut down. what do we need government scientists doing global warming studies? hell no! do weed IRS oppressing conservatives? NO. do we need IRS auditing Republicans NO. NSA spying on us? . The IRS can’t audit us as long as gov stays shut down. Hold the line Republicans! If walmart shut down then we’d cry but the useless gov can go to hell.

The only thing that the federal government should be doing is the military and border control.

NASA won’t be able to do global warming studies . boo hoo! lol abolish NASA . global warming is a hoax

The EPA won’t be able to shut down coal power plants for the global warming hoax. and that is something bad? no it isn’t its the best things that ever happened .abolish the EPA and the rest of the 1000’s of gov agencies.

The IRS won’t be able to audit and oppress conservatives. the NSA won’t be able to spy on conservatives. boo hoo. lol. thank Republicans . i do

Please, our Goebbel propagandists aren’t that myopic and restrictive, Lancey. They also care about not getting spaghetti strained through their nostrils.

Very well said, jilliane. My husband is a contractor and unable to work due to the shutdown. But, as we talked about today, we want the House to hold the line. Our situation is nothing compared to what so many others have been dealing with. This country has truly reached a “now or never” moment.

A lot of them get “unemployment” payments, then, congress gives them retroactive pay. They get to keep any unemployment money too. Great paid vacation, I’d say. What a racket these Fed “workers” have. The average citizen who is laid-off, gets squat.
