Government shutdown = Paid vacation for the 70% of federal workers we don't need.

[Nostra]

That's right folks, during a "government shutdown" they send the 70% of federal workers home who are deemed "non-essential" They get paid back pay once a spending bill is passed.

So, essentially they get a paid vacation.

I say we shut down the government and tell this 70% they are no longer needed and to look elsewhere for a job.

The left continues using this scare tactic of A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN, as they always do. It's a lie.

So we want tsa workers walking off the job during Christmas. That'd be something to watch.

If they don't get their paychecks they should quit and walk away on the spot.

We might find out we didn't need them to start with, so it would be a win-win scenario.

The ex-bureaucrats can take a job as a permanent replacement for striking Starbucks baristas.

If you are identified as "not essential" I have no reason why you have the job.

LOL. They always eventually get paid, even if they have to wait for it because of a "shutdown".

The .gov workers in my AO always were pissed when the .gov didn't shut down around the holidays......It was sorta like a dick tease to them.

The rest were pissed because they were deemed essential.....I used to rag on my neighbor (BP agent) because he had to go in every day while the wife stayed home.

Me: Did you have a good day protecting us all?

Him: If I cursed, I'd say FU.

As they go on their shutdown, give a pink slip and tell them Happy New Year. Time to find a job where you arent sucking on a government tit.
