Oh the humanity! The Atlanta Urinal and Constipation is starting to write stories about the poor gummint employees who are suffering during the partial gummint shutdown. Golly, in one of the stories, the wife had to take a job as a waitress because her husband wasn’t receiving a paycheck. Sob! Sob! Sob!
Meanwhile Dimocrats are partying in Puerto Rico with the cast of Hamilton. Don’t they care about these starving gummint employees who are about to lose their homes because they won’t be able to pay their mortgages?
These poor downtrodden gummint employees are actually getting a paid vacation altho’ it may be a while until they get that pay. Congress has already voted to give them all of their back pay when the shutdown ends. The time they missed won’t count as vacation time. They are set to get a windfall. Do I feel sorry for them? Nope.
Gummint employees (I refuse to call them workers) get paid more than people in the private sector. Their benefits are better as well. This shutdown will eventually end and their lives will be back to normal. Maybe if they want to go back to work, they should pressure the Dimocrats, whom most of them voted for, to give Trump the money for his wall. In the federal budget, $5 billion is a pittance. It’s a rounding error.
Meanwhile, the AJC will continue running sob stories about the poor gummint employees trying to stave off starvation and home foreclosures. Most of us don’t care.
I don’t.
