They will, just when it re-opens.

Except for any contract worker, which tend to be low wage workers. They don't get back pay for lost work. But that also includes people who are any contract worker that works for any agency, not just the janitors.

Yet another way of the "compassionate conservative" is long dead.

How much does that mean when people are living paycheck to paycheck, or gov't distribution to gov't distribution, as it were? If I can't buy food today, what good will that do me a month from now, perhaps two?

Just to put into perspective how many people in this country are poor, something like 55% of all births in the country are on Medicaid. Think about that for a second.

Stop food payments to these people and tell them it will all be enter when the president gets his wall.

Yes, 86% of the government will still operate, but welfare and SSA checks will not be paid. A shutdown has a direct customer impact, using business parlance.

Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are "Mandatory Spending." Expect to wait if you're planning on applying, though.

Edit: The cluster**** will be TSA running out of money tomorrow. Enjoy your flights.

Do we still get the complain about it being some diabolical conspiracy if any parks or monuments are closed?

They're essential personnel. So they'll still report for work like normal, only they won't get paid until the shutdown is over and they'll receive a check for the back pay.

(CNN)Republican Sen. Susan Collins almost dropped her handbag Thursday as she gestured disbelief at word, delivered to her by reporters in the Capitol, that President Donald Trump would not sign the budget extension to keep government funded until February unless border wall money was added.
"Did he just say that?" she asked as she left a Republican lunch. "Ugh, are you ruining my life?"

Maybe you clowns should have trained the puppy better instead of giving him everything he wanted all the time. Now he's having a tantrum and it's "ruining your life".
 
Re: POTUS 45.45: The Wall or a Shut Down. Your Choice Pelosi!!!!!!

President Trump won’t sign a Senate-passed spending bill without border wall money, House Speaker Paul Ryan says.
Parts of the government will shut down if lawmakers cannot fund them before midnight Friday.
House Republicans aim to add $5 billion in border wall funding to the Senate-passed bill, but Democrats have pledged not to back money for the barrier.

I guess they should have listened to him when he said he would shut it down and take responsibility for it. Keep voting people in who can't govern folks. It's the right thing to do.
 
Re: POTUS 45.45: The Wall or a Shut Down. Your Choice Pelosi!!!!!!

I don't know if House Republicans don't have the votes to pass $5 billion for Trump's monument to stupidity. A chunk of retiring and defeated Republicans aren't going to stick around the holidays, especially if the President is jerking himself in Florida.
 
all he had to do is manipulate Harry Reid into opening the nuclear option for him..

You can repeat this as often as you want, doesn't make it true.

In this case, manipulate is simply innuendo for "obstructed judicial appointments to an extent never before seen."

And you're still assuming he wouldn't have gone nuclear himself, when all available evidence supports a contrary conclusion (including the fact he went nuclear for SCOTUS right away).

Fortunately for Mitch, to look like he'd done well all he had to do is manipulate Harry Reid into opening the nuclear option for him.

< words here about candy and babies >

That said, no, it isn't/wasn't a high bar for Mitch to deal with.

Wrong.
