Should I assume that of you are a Federal Worker that you don’t have any Credit Cards, no Savings, no IRA’s you can take money out of and no Friends or Relatives that can loan you a few bucks to buy Groceries?

This is phony. Anyone that has worked for the Federal Government that was honest and thoughtful would have enough set back to last them for three months if they lived within their means. Americans need to face reality that Federal Government employees in general are paid better and have more benefits than the average citizen. Do not buy into the farce.

Here’s hoping them that is unpaid put on a couple of layers of fat during their working time.
I hear packets of condiments can be used to make some mighty tasty sauces, soups and dips.. some stale bread, a little salt and pepper, some gubamint cheese, yummmy. Shutdown fondue, just for you.

Five days before the FedGov can start permanently laying of the furloughed employees. (RIF - reduction in force)
I wonder if that is Trump’s plan.

But the Lexus and the new house. It was only $750,000 and barely big enough for the four of us.
They also cut down to one $9 coffee a day.

Just curious. Are food pantries funded by the government, or by private charities?

Hard to believe that so many FedGov employees are in food pantries after the loss of a single paycheck.
