Excellent...and don’t retro - pay the fed slackers, giving them paid vacations. This is always done. Shut it down.

That’s what I was thinking, our new OMB guy is probably going to handle this quite differently than just paid days off for two million people.

True! The only people thqat should be getting retro pay are those employees that fall under the "necessary" employees part of a shutdown, and still work. Anyone who goes on vacation should not get paid for it unless they want to take their pto.
