Yes, Yes it is. As much as it sucks that this is mostly effecting the small time working government employee and not the greedy, lazy fuckers at the top. It is good because it is drawing attention to the fact that both sides of our elected political spectrum are acting like children, neither willing to give an inch to make our system work, And maybe it will get enough people to stand up and say that things need to change at the top from our irresponsible clueless president to all members of congress and the senate.

Anything that fucks with my ability to pay my bills and feed my family, isn't good. I agree with you about how it's going to make some people realize how big of a shit show Congress really is, but I don't think my pay should suffer because children can't put a budget together.

You needed this to know that our politicians act like sore losers from the first half of an ABC Saturday Afternoon Movie before they learn a Real Life Lesson by the movie's end?

Yes, it is. Even if your salary is dependent on the government as an employee. The government has been overspending and has maxed out it's credit lines while also wasting all of the money they have taken from the working class. To say they shouldn't shut down simply because YOU would be inconvenienced even though they are bankrupting everyone else is just narrow minded and greedy.

This is a very good thing. The government needs to get it's spending back in check. If this were any other kind of corporation they would need to clean house and reduce spending. I honestly don't even know why the federal government has access to a credit line when not in either a time of war or national disaster.

It shouldn't and that is the shame of all of this. You shouldn't be the one to suffer because congress cant work out their shit. Congress and the president should be the one to pay for this. Not only in cut pay but in fines for the time that they are costing the american people!

No I didn't but the majority of Americans walking around with their head up their asses have no clue, and don't care. Maybe the Government shutting with make them wake up and realize that they are voting for imbeciles

It's greedy that I feel I deserve to get paid for the time I'm working? I'm not getting furloughed, I'm an essential employee who is now working for free. More power to you if you're ok with working for free, but I'm not. I don't really consider it greed, more of adequate compensation for my time.

Here's some words from a wise friend who was just furloughed today:

Today, a minority is holding hostage all federal programs in an attempt to eviscerate a law that Congress passed, the president signed and the Supreme Court upheld — the Affordable Care Act. This sets a bad precedent... in the future, an imaginative and irresponsible minority could use similar tactics to expand legislative power beyond Constitutional limits for any purpose they desire.

Freakin' acronyms. It's sad that I can explain my job in acronyms. I'm a SrA in the USAF who works on IT equipment. Some jobs get ever worse than that!

I was a SSgt in the Air Force who worked on IT Equipment (3C0X1), now I'm a Fed working on IT Equipment.

Nice! I'm a 3D1X1 (since the 3C's went away). Basically, Geek Squad.
