Of course it’s also one of the biggest causes of “waste, fraud and abuse” in government. So far they have always paid people retroactively. They need to. But that means that congress screwing around not doing their job, causes millions of workers to sit at home doing nothing while still eventually getting paid.
I know this time they’re threatening permanent firings but they’ll always find something worse to threaten. It’s time to stand our ground.
If MAGAts care enough about depriving millions of healthcare, let them shut it down. If MAGAts care about illegal firings that will bog the government down in lawsuits for decades, let them shut it down. If MAGAts care enough about denying medical rights to any marginalized groups, let them shut it down. If MAGAts want to impose martial law, let them shut it down
