I think he may do as you are suggesting.

Now let’s be realistic. Many of them have to pay the rent and the bills and other expenses. It’s not as if they want to be in this situation.

The concept of an 'Emergency Fund' eludes them? None of them voted for Trump anyway. Screw them.

The dems want a big government. Fed workers except for the executives are union. Union members pay union dues. Union leadership gives $s to lib politicians. Lib politcians make bigger government to hire more union members, to get more dues to get bigger donations... repeat as necessary.

They need a lesson from AOC, she's got the answers ! These people can move to cheaper housing and find cheaper cars!

“People often say, like, ‘How are you going to pay for it?’ And I find the question so puzzling, because, how do you pay for something that’s more affordable? well, How do you pay for cheaper rent? just pay it! -AOC

Trump should threaten to replace them with lower waged illegals. Oooh, liberal heads would explode.

[JimRed]

Go to congress with your demands; they’re the cause of it.

But it is our (Republicans) fault for not ramming the wall funding through when we had control, the way the RATs rammed through Obamacare.

[ontap]

Yea I'm shocked union aholes blame the president. For a rounding error Peloshi and Smuckey let this go on.

[IronJack]

March down the Mall to the Capitol. That’s where the roadblock is.

Oh, you’re union guys. So really just lib tools ...

[tennmountainman]

At least 90% vote RAT.
We can live without them.

[Elsie]

USA will spend 12 Billion dollars every day in 2019.

5.4 billion for a wall is less than 1/2 of a days spending.

CHUMP CHANGE

[windsorknot]

The concerned federal workers might want to have a serious talk with Nancy and Chuck.

[JBW1949]

“Congress: Do your job so we can do ours.”

This sign the “protesters” are carrying says it all....

[From The Deer Stand]

I’m in favor of paying the 800.000 federal workers. In exchange, no member of Congress and their staffs will receive any pay until the shutdown is over. Nor will they get any travel and meal expenses, gymnasium expenses, or any other perk they so richly enjoy.

[mbrfl]

There are more important things than your job. Our country and its security is more important than your job, and by the way, you work for us. We, your bosses, are the ones who rightfully get to prioritize expenditures. Deal with it.

“Federal workers demand end to government shutdown at White House protest”

What is should say is “Non-essential Federal workers demand end to government shutdown at White House protest”

[MichaelCorleone]

Why don’t you numbskulls give Cher a call? She seems to have a better handle on the situation than you do.

[pfflier]

Hundreds of furloughed federal workers, contractors, union representatives and supporters

This is a far cry from the "government workers"only mentioned in the headline. Probably one worker and hundreds of feather merchants would be more appropriate.

[mbrfl]

Why aren’t they protesting in front of the Capital building? It takes two to tango. Oh, that’s right. Because the Federal Employees Union is an arm of the Democrat Party.

Mosey on down to the House, sports fans.

[cuban leaf]

It’s so cute when leftists “demand”.
