For the same reason that officers eat after the enlisted personnel are fed, how can one not look out for the dedicated federal workforce, many of whom live paycheck to paycheck.
Cannot imagine ever being an accomplice to shutting down the federal workers who routinely go above and beyond the call of duty to help deliver government services to their countrymen.
'...who routinely go above and beyond to help deliver services to their countrymen.' Good lord, conor.
How do you know this?
In my experience working side-by-side with Department of Defense civil service employees, I found them to be merely OK. Like most any other group, there were some exceptions but on the whole, I found them to be mostly clock punchers who did what was necessary, but not one bit more. In other words, union employees.
It's a paid vacation for them. I'm jealous.
Some paid vacation. About 8 days away from the eviction notices.

His numbers are far different.
Either federal workers are financially illiterate, or they live beyond their collective means.
Everyone should have enough stashed under the mattress to live on for at least 6 months.

Do you think Feds collectively are any different?
The 1M+ contractors will not
Why do you not give a shit about them?

Also your stash should be just that; when you or a family member have an emergency, not when some Orange skinned freak decides to not pay you so right wing media stops yelling at him for being a pussy.

issue. No country can sustain what is going on right now in the long run. It's too bad some politicians have mixed in the essential from the nonessential govt jobs so as to protect the swampers. Thus, mark me as a yes. But I would only do it in circumstances like this.
So you know, this was not trump's issue, he merely was the only candidate smart enough to read the american voters concerns. Trump was elected primarily to do this. By not funding the wall, the politicians in congress are resisting the will of the voters. Yes. Absolutely.
Look them in their eyes and deliver that same message.
After you deliver the message to the 1M+ federal contractors who will NEVER get this back pay
This is a frickin' paid vacation for the feds.....you know that......but you ignore it because it doesnt fit your agenda
As I recall that was the Orange's man promise.
Promises kept?
