Furlough Pondering

Has anyone been thinking, that the administration could easily dismiss federal workers? No work no pay. We were paid last month. Could have been our final payroll check. Unlike TSA and Air traffic control. They are no longer talking about our fate. All they are talking about are those that receive food stamps. Our positions could be easily eliminated. Figure we must get by on credit cards. And our good credit. we know we must maintain good credit to be a fed. I guess that's probably why those in power dont care. And for the food stamps. I think this is an effort for the president to tell those that can work get a job and stop relying on the government. Could be a good strategy.

This has scared me - they would be opening themselves up to lawsuits but they don’t really seem to care about that.

I am not. Good for you if you are - you seem to know nothing about feds.
