The douchebags will all get a free vacation on our dime because as always when they do reopen the government, the fucking leeches in both parties will of course vote to pay them for the days they didn't work. Afterall, they can't risk losing an election because some lazy government bureaucrat is unhappy he didn't get paid for a week he spent at home.

You really are a bit of a jerk.

Just someone living in the real world who has no tolerance for government freeloaders. I'd say most government employees qualify as such. That is why they haven't been able to hack it in the private sector.

Blame the top, not the bottom.

Thanks for the confirmation.

It's always a great idea to punish workers because of the incompetence of members of Congress and the spinelessness of the president.

Sorry, but perhaps it's time to see our bloated government cut down to a more proper size. I'd start by eliminating or severely curtailing most 3 letter agencies, starting with the NSA, DEA, and ATF.

That wouldn't save much money. Most of the spending goes to our military and entitlements and a huge chunk goes to interest.

Thanks Reagan, you cocksucker

If they were essential employees fulfilling meaningful tasks, I'd feel differently. Instead most of them are leeches.

Everyone's a leech.

He was someone who really talked out of both sides of his mouth.

Small government on one hand, but the other hand was building up the military and running the foolish war on drugs. Nothing about that says small government.

I wouldn't despise him if he actually followed through on the small government promises, but yeah he and GWB both were liars when they claimed to love shrinking government.

A red-letter day in every Teenage Libertarian's life is when he realizes that Republicans don't really want "small government" in the sense of an efficient government, they want "small government" as a dog whistle for rolling back civil rights and the social safety net. All the other big government is okay.

This is why I respect your opinions and posts as honest and principled. Next time you're in Chicago I owe you a scotch
