I haven’t missed these Federal “workers” one bit. Meanwhile, I’m told that not paying them, is costing me money? Hmmm, fake math...

If you are paying taxes, then you are still paying them. Yhey are not receiving paychecks but will receive the monies after 6he govt is fully funded.

So... where is all this money that is not going to the Federal workers who are furloughed? Is it growing interest somewhere? Is it going to pay off the debt? I do not know but it is not going out to the employees who have been deemed nonessential and who are on furlough. We haven’t stopped paying anybody, what is happening is they are delaying payment.

The Coast Guard isn’t getting paid and they’re still out there working along with border patrol agents who are not getting paid but are still out there working. I know a helicopter pilot in the Coast Guard that still flying search and rescue missions and it’s not getting paid. How does that make them non-essential?

You aren't the only one. Heard from a newscaster quoting one of the "essential" workers still working, "we are actually getting things done more quickly now that they are not here."
