What's holding up the congressional republicans from sending a bill to the senate republicans, since they have the majority? I've got to be missing something correct?
What makes you think the GOPe and Trump want anything other than a CR?

Recent polls show a shoutdown, 64% of Americans would put the blame on the Dems.

Good!!!! The federal government is a totally corrupt and dysfunctional system and should be shut down.
Oh, and only non essential parts of the government will be shut down???????

fricking good! Great! Now, we're FINALLY getting somewhere!!!! Do folks in DC actually think the average American taxpayer cares whether they receive a paycheck????


Regardless of politics, good people who show up to work and do their job every day are now out of work with no pay until it gets resolved. Yeah, I care.

The federal employees who are leeches on society generally work for USPS

As someone who deals with USPS every day for business, I agree wholeheartedly. My wife ain’t one of them.

It is absolutely possible to not get a pay check. They send it out as a warning every single time this comes up.

They’re gonna get a free vacation with back pay. All taxpayer funded.

Serious question: Do Republicans actually come out ahead when playing hardball if the government workers make bank?

So you are cool with all of our federal prisons releasing every inmate back into the communities because that is what would have to happen when nobody shows up to work.

You wrote very well, what I was thinking. Well done.
I wonder the reasoning for the two down votes.

They're going to sit on their arse, work their second job, and get back pay for not working when this gets resolved. Cry me a river.

I was looking at other banks for some friends and a lot of them do it. They just don't specify the amounts but all the ones I looked at did say they would give 0% loans to cover you till you get your back pay.

I care because believe it or not some of us have families to take care of. Not getting a check will be tough on most of us until we get our back pay.


Just Uber or DoorDash. You’ll probably be more helpful to society in that capacity vs. your role in federal employment.
