[QUOTE="rhodesbe, post: 2262434, member: 2415"] I hate to say this, because I respect so many of y'all, but this entire situation is only 'a crisis' for civil service... In corporate and small business America, the reality is you don't get paid if you do not have the money. There is no scheming about who gets reimbursed after the fact, for enduring the bluff of a furlough. (Paid for doing nothing? Really?) I'm blessed with a good steady job, but damn if I work only 40 hours a week at it. Paid holidays? That depends if I save up enough beforehand. 4 - 10s vs. 5 - 8s? There are many people working three part time jobs, with zero benefits. I know there are lots of y'all that work hard and do good things at your job (and thank you for that), but just don't lose sight of the reality that a 'government job' has perks that many never see.
