Point Well Taken: There Is No Shutdown … For Non-essential Federal Employees, Only Citizens

10/07/13


What is this horrid government shutdown I keep reading about? It isn’t for Federal employees, since the House passed legislation paying all non-essential Federal employees that were furloughed for their missed time. (If President Obama signs it, that is).

Stated differently. Non-essential Federal employees received a taxpayer-funded vacation.

The government shutdown is a way for the Administration and Senate to punish Americans for Republicans not rubber-stamping the funding of Obamacare. At least the Administration should exempt everyone or no one.
