Actually they are going to get back pay once the government re-open so basically this was a paid vacation for them.
@thefact, I pray the GOP has a fair and open mind approach to what was agreed upon because they have lost the health care fight and they need focus on what's next. On the other hand I hope they have the courage to stand their ground if the deal does not meet a minimum standard such as the affordable care act whether good, bad or indifferent applies to everyone equally, including government employees. The government has no right to pick and choose who the law applies to. Republican must have the courage to understand that a patient can't go from invasive extreme surgery to good health right after the surgery. It takes a long time to recover from a 17T debt. If that means shutting down the government and and refusing to increase the debt limit then that is what we have to have the courage to do.
@tonyfarris, You say the Tea Party is against the government? Well YES and NO, they are against big government as well as a tax and spend Senate and House. Definitely they are for a small government that rejects the idea of cradling free-loaders out for a hand out by demanding over-taxing those of us who earn an honest living with our blood, sweat and tears. Against the people? Well a resounding NO. They are against lazy "give me something for nothing" type elements in our society. Tony if you are a Democrat and a liberal, that is your right and I respect that but you can't paint the rest of us with an opposing view as against the people because we are the people.
finally !!!! there was going to be a world crisis if on the 17th nothing gets better !
@Haile, if you mean a manufactured and phony crisis, then yeah you would be right. The US generates enough tax revenue to pay down both the principal and interest on our loans. Financially speaking, there would be no crisis except for a phony one in order to scare people into compliance.
@those who pray and wish for America's demise...please don't hold your breath. However, if you truly believe otherwise, then you really are out of touch with reality.
