I’m in favor of paying the 800.000 federal workers. In exchange, no member of Congress and their staffs will receive any pay until the shutdown is over. Nor will they get any travel and meal expenses, gymnasium expenses, or any other perk they so richly enjoy.

There are more important things than your job. Our country and its security is more important than your job, and by the way, you work for us. We, your bosses, are the ones who rightfully get to prioritize expenditures. Deal with it.

“Federal workers demand end to government shutdown at White House protest”

What is should say is “Non-essential Federal workers demand end to government shutdown at White House protest”

Why don’t you numbskulls give Cher a call? She seems to have a better handle on the situation than you do.

Hundreds of furloughed federal workers, contractors, union representatives and supporters

This is a far cry from the "government workers"only mentioned in the headline. Probably one worker and hundreds of feather merchants would be more appropriate.

Why aren’t they protesting in front of the Capital building? It takes two to tango. Oh, that’s right. Because the Federal Employees Union is an arm of the Democrat Party.

Aren’t these union members? Aren’t the Democrats the main friends of union? Why aren’t they protesting the Democrats?

“We want to send a very strong message — that this is not about politics, it’s about getting people back to work,” said Brittany Holder, a spokeswoman for the NFFE and a protest organizer.

Honey, when you work for the government, it's about politics.

BREAKING: Government Employees protest for longer Paid Vacation!

Unionized Federal Workers protested in front of the AFL-CIO Building today, demanding that Trump not give in to Democrats and Nancy Pelosi. Ted, an organizer for The National Federation of Federal Employees, said, “WHY would I want them to settle? I earn 3% interest on my back checks for everyday we stay out. That’s three times what I would get from a savings account!”

The Union Chief, reached by phone from his wavefront vacation villa in Belize said, “I cannot talk right now, I have a couple of cute 14 yr old girls at the.... uh.... No Comment.”

One protestor said, “This is great! I don’t have to pay for daycare, I can spend more time with my kids, and I get paid for it, too! I could never do that in the private sector.”

But, there is a dark side to this, as well. Fred, a homeless Democrat vote harvester, and organizer for the NGO “People Without Brain Matter”, said that his daily Metro panhandling take is down by at least a hundred bucks a day, as he left the scene in his Escalade.”

When they say “hundreds,” that means less than a thousand, right?

As taxpayers, we DEMAND that you identify every penny of waste you come across on a daily basis and see to it that it is eliminated immediately.

After you’ve done that for a year, we’ll think about your demand.

“Congress: Do your job so we can do ours.”

At least that one has it right.
