They are ALL going to get paid anyway....they are just getting PAID TIME OFF!!

You're the same on every thread with this.

Give it a rest.

When you are talking this large a population of people, that includes engineers, doctors and nurses who care for our combat wounded, teachers on bases who pour their hearts into their work for the parents of our deployed military, the low paid Navy shipyard worker, and mechanic laboring on an Air Force flight line fixing aircraft (up to 80% of maintenance at some Air Force bases are now civilians).

Furthermore, these folks are not "on vacation." They cannot go anywhere because they were told to standby for a call back, which occurred. They were/are not getting paid now, and they are prohibited from taking any other jobs due to regulations.

The are many slugs in the Federal government, especially in agencies like the Dept of Education and Health and Human Services. But a great many work for agencies like the FBI and DoD - and they WORK for this nation, they are not taking Food Stamps or SS Disability.

Dial it back. There is plenty of outrage to go around, the majority of these folks don't deserve it.

What are you talking about....I NEVER said they were going on vacation....look at what you pasted....I said PAID TIME OFF. And I’m sorry I don’t feel as magnanimous as you do about Govt. employees....witness now the THUGGERY of the NPS.
