The government shuts down. Another spectacular MAGA failure.

President Trump Ensures the Troops Get Their Payday

Despite the Democrats' Best Efforts to hurt our military, Trump has ensured that they will be paid

President Trump rode to the rescue of the troops Saturday with an announcement that the Department of War had found enough money to cover an upcoming October 15 military payday. In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump announced that the Schumer Shutdown would not cause hardship for military families. Abailable War Department funds are being used to pay our military. The Democrats will not be allowed to hold US national security hostage to their political games.
Military commissaries are already preparing to provide food for a million-plus members of the Armed Forces who may in future miss a paycheck.

There is probably enough cash sloshing around in procurement and R&D accounts to continue paying the troops until the Schumer Shutdown ends. But it probably won't be necessary. The House has queued up the Pay Our Troops Act (H.R. 1932). It could get a vote at any time Speaker Johnson desires. Its fate in the Senate is uncertain, as it would make it harder for Schumer to extract concessions from Trump. The fact that Trump was willing to make the effort to pay the military will have an effect on wavering Democrat senators.

47 is to blame for this.

Next up, violation of the bill he signed in 2019 guaranteeing back pay to furloughed workers.

Why do you say "to blame."

"Take credit" more like. We need to do to the Feds what Musk did to Twitter. Downsize by 90% and hire back anyone it turns out we need.
 
No funding. Good enough. We're 35 trillion in debt anyhow. Something's gotta go. 90% of the Feds would be a good starr.
That's what furloughs are for.

I get that you believe the horseshit that government isn't good for anything.

80/20 rule. 20% of the employees do 80% of the work.

No money, fire them.

Democrats can vote to fund the govt any time they like. In the meantime, Trump needs to fire as many as he can as fast as he can.

No money -> furloughs.

As for your 80/20 rule....it's horseshit.

The lawsuits are going to cost much more to the government than any back pay they would be giving.
 
why should your everyday workers (no matter who they voted for) be furloughed because the well-paid people who are supposed to do the job of keeping the government open can't do their jobs but are still getting paid?
 
No money -> furloughs.
Or terminated

Rule of thumb for bureaucracies

The lawsuits are going to cost much more to the government than any back pay they would be giving.

But in the meantime they won't have a job or income so they'll have to find one so it doesn't matter. Either way they're gone.
 
Or terminated
Never before.

Hence the lawsuits coming.

Rule of thumb for bureaucracies
Yes, your believe the horseshit.

But in the meantime they won't have a job or income so they'll have to find one so it doesn't matter. Either way they're gone.
Yes, you don't like government so having government fuck over hard working people is something you celebrate.

And we'll be fucked the next time the CDC is needed or other agencies where experience has been removed.

And other countries will take over leadership in the world

Hahaha! No, Trump is to thank for this. Sorry, lazy, entitled, big government leftists, Trump is whittling down your Deep State at every turn possible.

Yeah, some asshole will point out where some Republican worker was fired, but there shouldn't actually be a term 'non-essential' personnel.

Should there?

Glad you agree he's the one firing people for no reason.

Yes, it makes you dipshits believe that they are actually not essential. The term is not accurate.
