Sucking on the public teat is habit-forming.
I thought you had to be out of work 2 weeks before you could file ????
Now that it’s effecting the government itself, the economic slump is now considered a problem.
Oh great, double dipping.
Get unemployment bennies and then get back pay for days off.
And we get to pay for all that.
They CAN’T file for “unemployment benefits”!!!
They are NOT fired, or RELEASED from their duties, they have been locked out, by the President of the United States, their union capo de tutti capo!
Then, they give up any claim on back pay if the government decides to grant it.
They should aso give up any claim on returning to their old job.
They know all the loopholes and are notorious for double dipping.
If awarded UC, they’ll be considered overpaid once the feds make sure they get back pay for the time they were home watching Jerry Springer. The DC unemployment folks may just “waive” the OPs to their fellow public employees.
If there are 80,000 or more people working in government, civil or not, that are unimportant to the shutdown, why don’t we just fire them and use their wages for something important like paying off the trillions of dollars that bamaboy has spent????
Do does the fed gov pay “taxes to itself” to cover unemployment like corporations do? Or it is a fake escrow acct like Social Security?
