Just finished a full week of busting my butt at the VA hospital and will be back there on Monday as will the rest of the staff. Operations as usual. We had to turn in our keys to the building and phones. We are essentially locked out.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I thought ( other than vaca ) getting paid for not working was called welfare. What's it called when you are forced to go to work every day and not be told when, or if, you'll be paid? What is it you do and how much do you make auntiegov? If one is self-employed and takes a cent of under-the table money, he is as much a leech as anyone and is uscking from the money paid byy those of us who follow the law.

There are alot of job openings. They simply don't pay double like the federal goverment does. If that were true we would be able to hire staff at the VA.

I'm proud of our Federal public servants sacrificing so bravely to better the USA. A big thank you for your sacrifice! I bet most of my servants will turn down that pay for not working to help reduce the National Debt.

I find it funny that some people are bagging on federal employees yet during the summer when fires rage throughout the West the federal fire fighters are the best thing since chain drowners. Interesting!

I know many who work or did work for the federal gov. Most earned or earn 30k to 55k and pay a big chunk toward the healthcare coverage. In today's America I'd hate to try raising a family on that.Millions do and pay taxes too! I believe as a single adult I pay more than my fair share. I take home less than 50% of my gross.

Must be in a crazy high bracket to be taxed at 50%. I do OK and don't get nearly that amount withheld. Even making $500k in earned income is "only) taxed at 37%.

It is a bad situation and I fell bad for those who are not getting the pay they expected to get, I wish the swamp could be drained. But it don't look like that is possible.

Many of these people are going to work everyday and don't know when they'll be paid.

Marty trump is part of the swamp. I voted for him knowing that the only way to be in the construction business in NYC is to be on a first name basis with mafia bosses. I never expected the wall to be funded by mexico or corruption in DC to be rooted out. What I hoped for was a jump in the economy and employment and judges who don't think I ought to be disarmed. We got that and now we have gridlock. Im fine with that and hope it lasts awhile.

Cheer up Marty. Things are better under Trump than they were under B.O. Caught this cat yesterday in one of those sleepy creek longsprings I bought from you. Sons youngest daughter had her first birthday yesterday. We had cake and ice cream here. Made it an even better day. He's here now clattering around in the kitchen. I suspect him and a bottle of bourbon were up late last night. I had to call and wake him up. Time to go see what I'm going to skin today. Life is good I don't think we are headed over a cliff.

Yep..Apparently Government shutdowns are fairly common..If I was a federal worker today I would be looking for a job in a different sector of the US of A. Kinda like making lemonaide out of lemons..If I'm looking at what's going on correctly..any funding that will be signed into law is always temporary..like 3 months 6 months..So just drag up on them...LOL
I can catch them here...I can catch them ANYWHERE

If I were to take a federal job, I would know shutdowns could occur. I would attempt to save and plan accordingly for such situations.
