How has the government shutdown affected you?”
That's the question posted Thursday at 7:50 p.m. on the White House blog by Nathaniel Lubin, acting director of digital strategy for the Obama administration.
Don’t forget that at the top of the blog, a handy little disclaimer notes that “due to Congress’s failure to pass legislation to fund the government, the information on this web site may not be up to date.”
Looks like it’s perfectly up to date.
Also remember that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., won't bring up any resolutions that would fund government programs such as national parks and veterans' services.
So, while hundreds of thousands of Americans are furloughed for being “non-essential,” the White House has found asking for their stories to be “essential.”
“Loving this shut down! I used to work at the IRS, but something came up. So, I had to take a leave of absence. Pretty much been on vacation all summer. The great news for me is that I still get a paycheck, bonuses and everything. Recently, I decided to retire.....great timing, as I did so right before the shut down!”
