    And first government has been shut down since 22 of December

    And that isn’t just people that work in the government.

    Those are all federal employees. Park rangers, IRS workers, food inspectors, etc

    And not all of them are going to make the lost wages back retroactively once the government is funded

    And your tone speaks to the fact you never had the enjoyment of unemployment, never saw how fast your savings drains when you you have nothing coming in but the bills don’t stop

    Some people may not be paycheck to paycheck, but most regular people are not far from it

    Remember these are peoples lives, families, their children’s future, medical bills all at ransom cause of childish politics

      Try to remember statistics about people aren’t faceless numbers. They are real people effected by a shutdown with no potential end in sight

      Since neither side is currently willing to budge

        I'm guessing the idiots causing this mess still get paid? Not that they would have to scrimp and save if they didn't...

          You know it. If the people who caused the shutdown were NOT going to get paid during said shut down, you can bet your last dollar they would resolve things the same day.
