Quoting: Phennommennonn The federal agencies facing a shutdown threat later this week would send home more than 600,000 employees if Congress fails to enact funding by Friday, furloughing them with only the promise of backpay. An additional 780,000 workers would remain on the job, either because they are funded through mechanisms other than annual appropriations or their jobs are deemed necessary to protect life and property. If Congress fails to take action by the March 22 deadline, funding for agencies appropriated through six of the 12 annual must-pass spending bills—the departments of Defense, Treasury, Homeland Security, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, State and other agencies—will expire. The remaining roughly 600,000 federal employees would remain on the job, as their agencies already received full-year appropriations. more [link to www.govexec.com (secure)] And then they will bitch and whine about how they aren't getting paid knowing full well that they will be given back pay for this period they are not working. Oh but muh current expenses! This happens every few years. If you aren't smart enough to save for it so it doesn't impact you - then you deserve to suffer. But then I think gov employees generally deserve to suffer. |
