No on should lose sight of the fact it costs money to work. If federal employees are calling out in gradually larger numbers they don’t have money to make it to work; ie: clean clothes and uniforms, lunch, and there is the cost of transportation. In following this failure chain, it doesn’t matter if Congress guarantees their wages if they can’t afford to work. Sooner or later survival of the employees and their families take over.
I hope the Congress is sensitive to those issues.
Do I understand correctly that Right Wing Talk Radio is driving this POLITICAL shutdown of government? When are they going to be held responsible? Ann Coulter should be banned from radio if this is her stunt for ratings.
Freedom of speech does not include assaults against the government. It sounds like Putin is driving her ratings.
