Keep this in mind (in case you weren't already aware): the gov't is shut down solely because Chuck Schumer is afraid of losing power and losing his Senate seat to AOC. That is the only reason.
They are lying on any other reason. Many thousands of gov't workers are furloughed or working without pay because of Chuck Schumer's selfish desire to maintain power. Its that simple.
He was pilloried by the AOC wing of the party, ladies on the View, and elsewhere for "caving" on the CR in March so he's going to put up a fight this time. The Dems have created a leftist beast that they no longer can control.
They get back pay. So what if they're not working. It's a vacation
Thanks for missing the entire point of my post. It wasn't to sympathize with furloughed govt workers but rather to blame Schumer for the shutdown
You're assuming I read your entire post.
