Free Republic News All: Just heard theyre going to discharge me this afternoon and transfer me to a short-term rehab center. Hoping to get physical therapy there so I can transfer in and out of bed by myself, then I can go home.
Woo hoo!! ~ Jim October, 5 2013
UPDATE: Jim is already at the re-hab center and Syncro is taking his stuff to him! Praise God!

I was talking with a federal worker who is baffled by this — he said that if they are guaranteed to be paid, why are they not allowed to work during the shutdown? If the money will come either way, they might as well work.
They've been reassured that they will be paid, but are absolutely not allowed to work for it.

Pay for work that was not performed BUT no pay for work that was performed.
Federal workers still on the job won’t be receiving their paychecks until after the shutdown.
Nice fairness act... NOT

RIGHT ON Lou , cost the taxpayers even more ....than if you did nothing.Maybe the GOP should make the focus the Dem lie that Obamacare will cost less etc. What's the root cause of all this?
Poor planning on the part of the GOP? Unintended consequences?
How about "I want a 30 second sound byte or one paragraph on my facebook page that says I did something about spending/obamacare."

RE :”
Poor planning on the part of the GOP? “ I dont see that there was any planning going on there by any of them.
It was ‘we have to jump into this because it’s right or we are following our principles and if we just dont blink something good might happen so follow us or else because it doesnt matter who wins..’
Next thing ya know its more paid vacation for all government workers so ‘we can win’ , cant figure out what master principle that conforms to.
On the bright side. looks like Obama’s not going to get amnesty this year.
