You forget that even though many federal employees won't get paid, they'll still have to report for work.

Some do, some don't, SWMBO is in the first group. Political theater on a grand stage by those who get a special subsidy on their health care. And we already had 11 days of furlough this year. And while they're out, no paperwork moves. So it was a bad idea, can't afford one anyway.

Pix of the inside of the capitol dome, must be painted with high temp paint to resist all the hot air in that building...

That sucks. I hope they eventually vote retroactively pay her. There are some who doubt that will happen, however. Of course those who vote not to can pretty much be assured they won't need to bother running in the next election.

Well, at least they passed The Responsible Helium Administration and Stewardship Act of 2013 so I can still get my welding tank filled.

SWMBO advised if not resolved by Friday pay checks stop until resolved. But the tally of bricks shall not diminish.

You do realize Obama care paves the way for a larger lower class by dragging down some of the middle class?

If an employer does not provide health been for full time workers employer fined $2500 per worker, to insure that worker on average is $11k per year it is cheaper to pay the fine

OR use the loophole make entire workforce part time 29 hours per week now employer will not be fined WORKER WILL BE FINED $2500 for no insurance

Worker cannot get free state insurance because employed and makes too much

So you get workers being fined for not having insurance they cannot afford or work off the books and use free state insurance

Employers reap all the benifits here, and as for the gov employ not getting payed, when they reopen the gov pays for the missed work so it is like a payed vacation for some (this is how a gov emp friend explained it to me) if the media told the full truth this country would be better off

that settles it. I am going to contact Dennis Rodman and see if he can put in a word, for me, with Lil' Kim.

I don't think LEOs should be bitching about a group of people being biased and providing filtered and slanted information based on said biases.

The whole stones being tossed in glass houses thing...
