So for the "Shutdown" that's supposed to be SOOOOO "Critical", it is so much that that the Senate is on recess until Sept 29th and House comes back on Oct 1st. As usual, the people suffer, well, at least the government workers. They're kinda idiots anyway. Overall considering pay, not private sector comparison, they get quite a good amount of pay. If you can't f###### save enough money aside you're one of the people who live paycheck to paycheck, your job performance should be scrutinized.
