Well, from all we have been hearing you would think this is the end of the world. Only 17% is shutdown???? REALLY!!!!

The left has tried to scare America with threats and lies! Now they are punishing Americans that don't honor their creed!

And as you said, closing the most visible places so that Americans will think the shutdown is terrible.

'Think America is being manipulated?

 

I just don't get it at all. If all the people are going to get paid anyway, what is the point of shutting it down. If we are going to pay them, they might as well work. This is the biggest joke ever!!!!!!  

Seeking to dent President Obama’s refusal to chip away at the government shutdown piece-by-piece, House Republicans passed a bill Saturday to guarantee all federal employees get paid after the government shutdown — including those who have been sent home and aren’t on the job.

The bipartisan bill, sponsored by Virginia Reps. James P. Moran, a Democrat, and Frank Wolf, a Republican, cleared without opposition on a 407-0 vote, marking a major bipartisan breakthrough. The bill, which the Senate was not expected to take up this weekend, would ensure that hundreds of thousands furloughed government workers receive full back pay after lawmakers strike a deal to reopen the federal government.

“It’s encouraging to see both parties come together to provide fairness for the 800,000 federal workers hurt by this shutdown,” said House Speaker John A. Boehner, Ohio Republican. “Now we should do something about the 800,000 jobs being destroyed by the president’s health care law. That’s why Republicans are working every day to reopen the government and provide fairness for all.”

If they are going to get paid, shouldn't they be working?

WASHINGTON - Most Department of Defense workers sent home on furlough because of the government shutdown will return to work next week, Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said today.

Hagel made the announcement in a statement on the Department of Defense website.

"Today I am announcing that most DOD civilians placed on emergency furlough during the government shutdown will be asked to return to work beginning next week," Hagel said in the statement.

The lifting of the furlough would affect about 400,000 DOD civilians nationwide, including about 12,000 at Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville.

U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, has been pushing for DOD civilians to go back to work - saying they were wrongly furloughed after President Obama signed into law earlier this week the Pay Our Military Act.

The law, Brooks said, not only provides pay for active-duty troops but DOD civilians as well.
