Does this free day off apply to any military ?
Son of a Beach, I have to work!
Without pay, right?
**crickets**
If they want the day off, they should have to use their own vacation. Wonder if he will give them NY Eve off too.
And, of course, you were just as riled up when other presidents, other Republican Presidents, have done this in the past?
Party like there’s no tomorrow.
Yes. And I work for the Department of Defense.
Oop’s(sp)...Bartiromo
If it happened, than I’m sure we were. If you can prove otherwise, please do so.
So let it be written. So let it be done.
Kwanzaa off too?
Gotta work,gonna get those truck drivers home for Christmas.
Civil servant or contractor?
Call out the Dems.
Get Wall Street on their backs.
President George W. Bush twice (2001 and 2007) gave feds the day off (Monday) when Christmas fell on Tuesday.
The Fed employees get two days to celebrate what?
Hate to tell ya Bush did it twice.
