Anyone taking any trips? Do we need to start the federal worker soup line?

Man I'm going to be working to find a way to make a dollar out of 15 cents. This ain't a joke. Sounds like we might not even get paid for any time missed.

Yeah, I don't think we will either. I hope nobody says anything to me crazy.

Does this mean the pay stops as well? this actually effects the fed contractors as well... I'm not familiar with what happens.

What happens, eh? Well, your life gets harder. And executives at Booz Allen, Northrop Grumman, and Boeing keep eating well. That's what happens.

I'm usually not political on this board, but I will say that anyone who votes Republican is a real *******. You don't play with the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of people.

Yes and I've heard that contractors definitely don't get paid either. It's not good for anyone.

From my understanding the last time the government shut down workers still got paid. I doubt it will shut down though but only time will tell.
