I am a Federal employee. I’ve had friends laid off in the private sector, so I don’t have a thing to complain about, even if I don’t get paid. I’ve kept my skills up to date, should worse come to worst.
I also have a young son, and I care far more about the future of this country than I do about missing a paycheck or two. If a shutdown can help bring about necessary cuts, then a shut down is a necessity.
God bless you. If more had your attitude (and I’m not just talking government employees, I’m talking Americans) we’d all be better off.
I hope it goes well for you, but then again, folks like you make their own luck.
