I suspect there would be less shtudowns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moshe Posted December 23, 2018 Author Share Posted December 23, 2018 Well, the halls of Congress aren't popular with me at the moment. If they are all sitting on their butts collecting their paychecks, and their small time retirement time, while the little guys suffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This CNN type mentality that government workers are getting screwed is comical at best. If they get furloughed and have to stay home with their families during the Christmas season, they will get payed backpay after the shutdown ends, even if they didn't show up for work. They have the Greatest Christmas Gift congress could give them, paid time off to spend with their families and not have to dip into their Vacation time. So far Nobody has suffered. All government employees have been payed up through 12/28. Their next payday will be 12/28-1/3. So all this BS that these poor souls being forced to spend Christmas without a paycheck is total BS. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammersix Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Anyone who needs or wants the services of someone who is at home is getting screwed. They're paying for service they can't get. No one rich enough to get elected to congress would care if their paycheck got cut off, too, they just wouldn't show up and there wouldn't be any way to end the shutdown.
