I saw legislation language that said employees would continue to be paid in the event of a future shutdown. If that stays in the final bill, it will make shutdowns even less meaningful than they already are. The politicians need someone to suffer, so they can get sympathy from the masses. If not federal workers, who will it be?
I've always been considered "essential," so I have never had the opportunity to get a paid vacation without taking leave. Sure, there was never a guarantee that there would be back pay, but that always seemed to happen historically. My luck, the first time I get furloughed will be the first time we won't get back pay!
God bless the United States of America!
