Govt. Shutdown?.again?

[Oscar77]

Know any fed gov employees or contractors? Pretty sure people like stability and regular paychecks, not chaos, and forced furloughs, for non-specific times, and also with no clarity of if they will even receive backpay.

Facing possibly homelessness or bankruptcy while driving for Uber at minimum wage is probably not how they want to spend "time off".

Most people live paycheck-to-paycheck these days....

Holy Crap!
WE might agree on something. Sortta.

FWIW: Most? Alot? of the Federal workers I know are still working so this "we are paying them but they aren't working" argument isn't valid. The ones that are furloughed aren't working OR getting paid.
They have received assurances that things like rent/mortgage wont be defaulted and will be allowed to "get caught up" once this clears.
And yes they will receive back pay, but that doesn't make it right or easy.

The Dems have reached a new low: They are truly and without question leveraging all this just to score some sort of point.

They dont give a rats ass about these workers........... they IMMEDIATELY refused a bill that would pay Fed workers during shut downs like this.
They dont care, they just need a win, any sort of win against Trump as so far he's been destroying them.
