Threads like this make me wish we would actually shut the whole thing down, without any of this essential/nonessential crap. The reason the inconvenience on the public has been so limited is almost half a million people are just showing up to work for free right now.

Exactly, I'm one of the "non-essential" furloughed employees that has been sitting at home for 3 weeks.

But 2 weeks ago when South Louisiana got 3 inches of rain and everyone started looking at the river gages and wanted to know why "X" gage wasn't fixed, why is "Y" gage reading wrong, or is my house gonna flood, my non-essential arse got really popular with parish and local officials emails.

Funny how that works, I'm a spoiled unneeded government worker until you're shits about to flood.

Your post helps to make my point about the Federal government being too powerful. The states should be handling their business and should not cede their power/money to an overreaching Federal government that’s only gotten more powerful with each passing generation.
