[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So pay us but not pass the rest of the budget or negotiate on health care?

Sigh. I'd take a paycheck but this is ridiculous [/quote]

It is, but it takes this paycheck hostage situation off the table, and it's an incentive to get to yes on the budget [b]because you will then actually be paying people not to work. [/b] I'm going to call my reps and support the pay all feds. Paying only excepted/essential workers opens another can of worms. I'm not excepted but have been working about 12-15 hours a week on excepted activities. Are they going to give me a partial paycheck?[/quote]

That is *exactly* what is happening now.  The only difference is the timing of the paycheck.  [/quote]

Well given the choice of being paid on time, and being paid at some indeterminate point in the future, which would you pick?

They should do this.  Fed employees are not bargaining chips and their salaries are a drop in the bucket.  This is the price the public should pay for a functional government. Put the pressure on Congress, where it should be.[/quote]
