Pea is for Politics!...Democratic Leader Says Members Of Congress Can't Live Without Their Paycheck...



The DHS has more than 240,000 employees. 13% of them are dubbed "non-essential". I know what you are thinking...what Company employs people that they call non-essential? Well, the Federal Gov't does.
If the Gov't does not pass a Bill to Fund the DHS that would mean that the 31,000 nonessential people would have to stay home. Essential people must show up for work & they will get their paychecks (remember the Air Traffic Controllers during Regans years?) They were essential & he fired them for not showing up & they did not get their paychecks.

Another thing. When Congress funds DHS (and they will) the non-essential employees will have had a few days off & receive back pay when they return to their non-essential jobs.

It's just the way things work in Washington

Question Pea, if all the BM's and Sis, are now under-employed, does that mean we are non-essential? TJ
