I don't worry as much about the players that will get the money in the future.
I worry about all the workers that just won't get paid for this time period.
Who are these people that work for the Gov't. that will loose out completely.
Does anyone know where I can find this information?????????/

Don't you appreciate how lonesome Donald is today? He even had to tweet "poor me" from the deserted White House! And here you are, all "worried" about being out of a job and not getting paid and your mortgage payment is due, and waah, waah, waah. Can't you spare a thought for poor Donald Trump? Everyone's blaming him and pointing a finger at him! It's just horrible.

Taylor what is happening to you and your family is obscene.

The absolute lack of any sort of concern from Trump and his enabling Republicans is beyond belief. Mark Meadows basically told someone that when they went to work for the Federal government that “they knew what they signing up for”...

No one ever thinks that they’ll not get paid because of a completely mindless political dispute over a wall that only a very few actually want. No one.

This is obscene.

I wish I could somehow make it go away.

My husband and I both are graduates of Washington State University, and I worked for WSU Athletics for 8 years. We saw Ryan play in the the 1998 Rose Bowl. It was so sad when his life took such a bad turn. I am so glad that he has turned his life around and has become such a compassionate human being. Go Cougs!
