[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile, the legislative branch continues to be paid to celebrate a dog’s birthday.

And Trump is hosting lavish dinners for the rich.

Let them eat cake!

And so it has been for the power brokers in Washington during a government shutdown that appears to have no end in sight. While thousands of federal workers are furloughed — or fired — and trying to stay afloat without paychecks, the ones responsible for the shutdown are literally, and figuratively, eating cake[/quote]

not correct. CONGRESS is being paid. The legislative branch consist of more than just Congress--thousands more employees than Congress members. I work for CRS we are furloughed. CBO, GAO, Architect of the Capitol are all shutdown and not being paid. Also, congressional staff are not being paid--just the members. [/quote]
