“But for federal workers who are furloughed or required to work without a paycheck, a lapse in government funding can cause financial problems, leading some to default on debt or miss rent payments”
But that all got their back pay didn’t they. If they can’t go 30 days without going to a food bank, maybe they are living beyond their means. Ave pay for gov. workers is $84,000. They make a lot more pay than the average private citizens doing the same work.
Have you no pity?
One poor lady,interviewed on NPR,actually had to drop her son’s KARATE lessons because of the shutdown.
I almost cried./s

Absolutely correct. Then there’s this whopper.
“This can result in real hardships up to and including eviction.”
That’s an outright lie and never happened a single time. We just came off the longest shutdown ever and it lasted 35 days. Under no circumstances whatsoever has anyone been evicted at 35 days. An eviction would take longer to process than that if it started the minute the shutdown started. This is a lie. Why do people fall for this crap?
