You could always turn your eyes from Trump to Pelosi and Schummer if you really want to know who doesn't give a crap about "we the people", unborn babies, the rule of law, equal justice, or the coast guard. They can cave quickly or not, but they will cave. They lied to Reagan and they will lie again. They simply aren't trustworthy. They should have taken Trump's first offer, and where did Obama get all those pallets of cash he sent Iran? Curious people want to know.

The link is correct. Try the original thread post link, not a partial one from a subsequent posting.

Maybe...and I hope so...but, near the middle of the month-old article it starts with the following...
"Ray noted in his message that the funding work-around will not apply to the next scheduled pay period on Jan. 15, if the shutdown continues until then," and continues on in that vein.....
So, come Monday, we shall see.

WOW! these poor poopers. They may have a years vacation and in the end get a paid vacation for a whole year. When the plant U worked closed, did U get a full years pay? Stop being a PITA & get real. Pettty, petty whining.

I am seriously amazed! At the salaries federal workers are paid, THEY CAN'T SET ASIDE AT LEAST 30 DAYS SUSISTANCE. HELL I DID THAT SINCE I GRADUATED FROM HIGH SCHOOL and continued through my ten years as a marine from pfc through SSGT. With a family to care for. And after discharge for my civilian life we always were one to three months ahead of the curve. Maybe I just didn't buy and extend my debt limit beyond my ability to pay.

I agree.
I did a hitch in the Coast Guard back in the 1970s, when the pay was less, and came out with a few thousand saved.
Then there's the fact that a lot of people, especially in the media, are making it seem like all federal employees are now writhing on the ground in the rictus of starvation, evicted from their homes, all hope lost.
Right.

Just saw on local news where the two largest local banks here are helping with those who are about to miss a paycheck.
This isn't the apocalypse.
