(according to some congressman i saw on the news the other day) no federal employee has EVER not been paid in full during a furlough.


So we pay for them not to work, then when they go back ... we pay them again to do the same job, and now this has pushed back other work ... so it hurts us (the taxpayer) 3x

So it's like a paid vacation?
