I have a real hard time generating any...and I mean any...sympathy for those godvernment employees not getting their pay checks.

Now they report there may be as many as 2 million godvernment contractors who are not getting paid and they are not eligible for back pay.

awww...

Get a real job and stop feeding off the godvernment and "we the taxpayers". Although, I'd rather the godvernment contract out to private companies for work needing to be done for the godvernment rather than the godvernment creating an overpaid workforce, and I use workforce sarcastically, department to handle the work in the typically inefficient manner befitting a work crew paid for and run by the godvernment.

TDOT...Tennessee Department Of Transportation does some of the road work around here. Shouldn't be that way. The godvernment has no business being in the business of fixing the roads. They suck. As the old saying goes...if you can find a company in the phone book to do the work, the godvernment has no business doing that business.
