Well, Well, Well. So now you are unanimous in voting that all of the people you just put out of work should get back pay!!! Well done. So now you are paying federal workers to be on a forced vacation while getting their pay, right. These are the same overpaid money sucking creatons who have been sucking at the teat of the federal government for years. So now you want to give them a paid vacation?
NO FLAMES PLEASE. I believe that all federal workers who have been furloughed deserve back pay. The irony of the GOP positions is just mindboggling.
Shut down the government because they don't like a law and cannot find away to repeal it, and we spend too much money. Give furloughed federal workers a paid vacation. So where exactly are we saving money here?

If any of them had a shred of character (Democrats included) they would bring a bill to the floor that required all members of Congress to have their pay suspended with no retroactive pay clause when there is no agreement on a budget and the government has to shut down, or debt ceiling is not raised to pay for already approved government functions. They should not be paid for not doing their jobs.
This link to a Daily Kos diary is exactly the kind of teabaager representative that needs to have a taste of his own medicine.

This needs to stop. You are destroying the American economy, sending thousands back to unemployment and making people miserable for nothing. You are not going to stop the ACA. It is law, implemented and working, Get over it and get on with governing and stop obstructing. Pass the budget for the things you have already voted for and get the debt ceiling hashed out.
2014 is just around the corner, lets give Hillary a Democratic House and Senate.
