I work for DoD, I work every shutdown without knowing if I'm getting a check as we are considered essential. This one I am OK because the DoD already has its funding secured for 2019
Fed paychecks don't come out every week either, they are bi-weekly. Tomorrow they will miss their 2nd check. I have plenty of sympathy for people who aren't getting paid, but some in the media were whining about it before anybody missed a single check. Where were the Soup Kitchen stories in 2013?
I've also never said the shutdown doesn't suck, because it does. There's plenty of blame to go around on this one.
