Fedzilla is shut down-post your "Buh Bye's" here:
Buh Bye NEA!!!! Buh Bye funding of Planned Parent hood Buh Bye talk of raising the debt ceiling, since they only spend whatever amount of Tax we send to DC

in other words, the entire fedgov is on paid vacation
This isn’t the debt ceiling. This is the CR impasse. The debt ceiling is coming up real soon, though.
bye feds
we are happy you are not funded
Buh-bye paycheck......I work for DoD.
It would be nice if our income and other taxes could deduct the shut-down days.
I’m a fed contractor. I will NOT be paid for any time off during this shutdown. If it goes too long, I’ll have to get a new job.
So, I have skin in the game.
That credibility established, I say, SHUT IT DOWN until Obamacare is crippled. This Obamacare is an America-killer.
Expect useless federal workers to be picketing all across the useless inner cities today trying to explain how important their jobs are. I’m listening to one now who works for HUD == she counts rats in housing projects, as if a count was needed.
So in America, government hits Laz...
I don’t see how you’re worried about being pay. Your contract is funded at appropriation until its expiration or renewal. Your’s must be a very short term or general funds contract. Our’s is funded on a yearly basis and our current year just started.
Maybe Congress can look at the shut down as a great time for some LONG overdue house cleaning.
With all the waste, mismanagement, graft and duplication of services and benefits... all the fat can be trimmed from Gov’t. spending. :)
Besides... how many studies on the mating behavior of fruit flies DO we need!!??
If there is no government then during the days it is gone, no taxes are due.
Enjoy the tax free shutdown
For the record, why do contractors not get paid?
Do you work on a government site? If not, unless the contract specifies that it is curtailed during such an even work should go on. Work off site should not be affected
Ours is also yearly. However, as a contractor, you know you cannot bill for hours you do not work. Period. So, because of the shutdown, I am not allowed on the property and I am forbidden from accessing Federal assets (such as Citrix servers to remotely-work).
I suppose I could work an extra hour every day upon return, and make the missed money up in that fashion.
But if it goes on too long, I will be reporting to a new, private sector job.
The sun will still come up over DC. Doubt it lasts 48 hrs before the GOPe caves.
Pray America is Waking Up
Ha! Good one...

I appreciate that Laz. Some of my work relies on federal funding, but it would be better to shut down the monolith and let the markets work. Short term pain but long term gain, at least the gain of freedom.
Most contractors are on “Delivery Orders” which can be cut or changed at any time. Generally, there’s a new D.O. at the beginning of a fiscal year. And if it hasn’t been released, then too bad, so sad. . .
I thought you were a chef
So it has to do with the fiscal year and annual renewal of the various contracts.
My DOD contract experience were for projects that crossed FY lines. We could not process changes from one year into another without new funding
