Government employees are probably liberals but they are going to be paid for all of the time when they were at home. During the Great Depression, Texas could not pay school teachers so they issued worthless checks and then teachers took them to the banks to be discounted, or so one professor told us. Govt employees without enough cash reserves, and they make more money than private sector workers, can get short term loans on the basis that they will get all of their money eventually. So your point is about inconvenience, like filing with the IRS and paying high rates for big government that gets paid whether they work or not, for example. Actually, I would like to pay them to stay home all the time. We have the army finance center here in Indianapolis and General Bean was in charge of the finance center as well as the now defunct Fort Benjamin Harrison. Indianapolis television asked General Bean upon the occasion of his retirement, "General, how many people work at the army finance center/" He replied, "Oh, about half."

That’s great but maybe we can avoid the blanket stereotypes of lazy government workers and remember that air traffic controllers and the Coast Guard probably aren’t the laziest of people.

You are so moralistic that you just can't stop preaching that cultural marxism. Of course, you are the only one who ever thinks of others.... Too bad you NeverTrumpers can't get a government job until the Dems get back in. It was General Bean who said the people working on army payroll mostly sat around. Federal employees are paid more than private sector work and the question for the cultural marxists is why they call themselves civil servants since they are neither civil nor servants. I know that you missed it but the conservatives did try to get the lazy Dems to pay the Coast Guard.

You speak with such unfocused rambling that it makes having a conversation with you nearly impossible. All over the place. I have a Federal Job by the way and I doubt you’d call my overworked and undermanned office lazy.

Vacations imply the time off was chosen by the employee. The shutdown was not a vacation, no way, no how.

Oh, we could do with a massive reduction in the number of federal employees. Whole departments should be shut down. The press did not seem to mind the shut down because they put no pressure on the Democrats to negotiate. We could return a lot of the national parks to the states to avoid the trash piles that people left behind. TSA, which catches something like 5% of the test devices sent past them could be handed over to the airlines as most of the rest of the world does.

I think that the SOTU speech could be eliminate. It has turned into little more than a campaign speech and now the opposition party always gives a political answer afterwards. Before FDR, Presidents merely gave a white paper to Congress.

This Trump hatred from the NeverTrumpers and the Democrats is tedious after more than two years. Those people are going to go to their graves hating Trump, who actually has been a good President so far in terms of the things that he has gotten done for the benefit of the general public. At this point, the Democrats do not have a front-runner. They have a lot of elderly white people as leaders but they have driven white working people out of their party.

The Democrats are not much affected by the border crisis. They tend to be upper middle class. Elizabeth Warren may have drunk a bottle of beer out of the bottle on TV but her tastes and budget are Champaign all the way. She told Harvard she was part Cherokee and Harvard told the public that they had an indigenous person on the payroll. The Democrats just can't fill stadiums with an excited crowd. Trump has retained his popularity because he is funny and not one of the Democrats is funny..

OK, I wish my boss would let me stay home for 5 weeks or whatever and still draw full pay. Maybe it wouldn't be a vacation in your taxpaying eyes, but I am not the kind of guy to leave trash behind at a closed trash dump either in one of the National Parks. Aren't you sick of big government and entitled liberals, ITL?

Trump didn't cave. He wants to give the Union of address speech and the only way he could do it was to reopen the govenment. I am betting around the 15th it will be closed again. I think he is given it on Tuesday FEB. 5th. He has some things to say and I don't think any of it will be good. Lots going on in this country. Just hope we are prepared spirit wise as well prepper wise.
