President Trump on Thursday indicated he would sign the bill

I don't agree with Trump on this one. Why should they get extended paid vacations on my dime? They are virtually all democrats and support the anti-Americans responsible for this crap to begin with. Why should government workers be treated special like they are doing us some kind of favor, at twice the rate of the public sector?

[McGavin999]

Because he has now identified which agencies can be cut and by how much

[hal ogen]

Yet another paid vacay. They do this every time. Pathetic .

Why should they get extended paid vacations on my dime?

Because this is a political battle, and Trump is using a divide and conquer, making concessions that would have been made over his veto anyway. It is the same reason he gave them all Christmas Eve off, to avoid the stories of folks being laid off before Christmas.

My Daughter is not a Democrat.Have no idea what you are saying with your rant.She has been thought this before.You apply for unemployment and try to pay the bills and wait.

Nope. At first take i would agree, but IMHO you’re wrong: He just undermined SchuLosi. It’s not about the workers: It’s about policy. It’s about border security. It’s about the wall.

I’m with you...it weakens Trump’s hand a bit. He should have kept the federal workers guessing...may have gotten this shutdown ended much sooner.

Oh well, what’s done is done. It would have been very hard for Republicans in Congress to oppose this anyway.

You obviously group all government employees with the elites who own the Deep State - many are just average Joes who do a job and occasionally get caught up in a political battle.

I agree, why can’t they collect unemployment?
