[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With what money? They have to appropriate it. And once it’s appropriated most agencies reopen. So not sure how this is any different from any other bill to reopen. [/quote] Of course there is big difference. Federal employee salaries only accounts for approximately 4% to 5% of the total federal budget, let us say, someone works in SNAP program, but there is no SNAP funding, even if government reopens, there is no money to distribute, there is no work to do.[/quote] This. As a taxpayer I am very cool with using that 5% to keep people employed. They should not be in dire straits. At the same time we let "the people" have the day they voted for. It's not great but FAFO needs to happen to some extent. I understand that it's bad for all of us and I do understand the ripple effect, but it has to happen to some extent. That's just where we are as a country. [/quote]
