If Boehner/Mcconnell authorize funding for this then the GOP agrees with Obama
The government will pay them the same $$$ that they would if they had to come to work so it didn't require any special funding.,
Of course the GOP cant say much about it after paying them to be off for an extra two weeks during the shutdown in the first two weeks of October 2013, the best weather time to get two weeks off at taxpayer expense.
That did get a special funding bill since there was no budget in law at the time, and who in GOP opposed it?
