Gov employees are paid about twice what someone in the private sector gets
You’d think they have some saving they can use.
They will get a GIANT check when Pelosi and Schumer stop holding their paychecks hostage

A few days ago my wife received her new passport from the State Dept. within a week of applying. She did pay the “expedite” charge.

They also get amazing retirements.
Btw. Saw a stat last year. 50% of black college grads get government jobs of some type. Dems will be the ones feeling the screaming callers. Our voters want the shutdown to continue forever.

They're defined as nonessential personnel in nonessential jobs.
Why all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the government not paying nonessential people when the same people having crying fits now cheer when businesses do the same thing?
Trump should cite the example of Romney and Bain Capital then fire them all to get a little creative destruction going.

struggling to put food on the table Seriously? They missed a paycheck yesterday. I've heard of people living paycheck-to-paycheck, but that's ridiculous.

These government shut downs should ALWAYS start where they begin - Congress’ pay!
If they can’t do their job to keep things funded, THEIR $$$ should be the first to stop.

The vast majority of State Department employees are RATS. Maybe a bunch of them will quit and we’ll all be better off.
