I still wish there was a "like" button on here like there is on FB.

For those concerned about the 800,000 Federal workers on furlough, they are on paid vacation! No need to feel sorry for them.

I am a federal worker and that is not what I'm being told. After some previous shutdowns Congress has authorized back pay for furloughed employees. But today's congress is nothing like prior ones and nothing says this is going to happen this time around. Also, with sequestration still in place for FY2014, I would not be surprised if it becomes a matter of taking the days without pay now or sacrificing the same in days off without pay during 2014. I fear it may even be both.

Retroactive pay for furloughed government workers just passed on the House Floor 1 minute ago.
