RE :”There are many types of fed workers we are not all GS employees. The majority of people in my area are conservative, very few liberals among retirees here. We have seen Obama and the Dims go after our retirement.”

I know there are many contractors but are they getting paid for being off too?

I know the GSes here are off now and getting paid for it while exempt from Obamacare.

These are the folks w 100% job security.

That is also not true, none of us have job security. With the draw down GS positions will become redundant. They may be offered other jobs in some cases requiring them to relocate. There is no such thing as job security anymore. I am DOD so I do not know,about the EPA or IRS. We plussed up to support the war so we will see cuts. By law the agency I work for has to offer me a comparable position, Our funding runs out in 12 months unless renewed. I will either take a pay cut or relocate, with a child in college I have to work, we are no different than anyone else, just a different career path.
