I would like to see WDMSO's response to this, I really would.
I can't imagine that furloughed workers will not get back pay. But it can create a hardship, especially at Christmastime, if they racked up credit card debt that they now have to pay interest on. And many of them live paycheck to paycheck (I do), what if their mortgage is due Friday?
The solution is so friggin simple. Dems give Trump 5B for his wall, the GOP agrees to give the Dems what they want on DACA, leading to legal residence but not citizenship. Everybody gets something they like, everybody has to deal with something they don't like. |

Schumer already floated this and Trump rejected it.

Obviously both sides are looking for a win.
So which side will take the high road and cave on the issue?

It will be fascinating to see the answer to that. Both sides would look very weak by caving completely. |

I think we’ll know more after Trump meets with Senate Republicans today. They’re starting to defect and I don’t see how McConnell can continue to block the vote if there’s a veto proof majority. I’d think that would be a great eff you after Trump burned him last month.

Says who? Mike Pence was on TV this weekend, and he said DACA was on the table as a deal for the wall. I saw Pence say it. Lindsay Graham is also saying it. |

Actual NEWS people? or biased news people who tend to make things up? |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I hear ya, I'm not saying it's not going to create hardship, just putting it out there that as of today, pay hasn't been affected. It will, come Friday and it will suck for a lot of people.
I agree that they need to stop playing stupid friggin games and having hissy fits, and do their #^&#^&#^&#^&ing job and fix it. |
