PAYING LAID OFF  FEDERAL EMPLOYEES FOR NOT WORKING? THEY SHOULD NOT GET PAID-WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THESE LAWMAKERS?

THE KUHNS REPORT

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Congress says that  they intend to pay all of the federal employees for being laid off.  Congress intends to pay the employees retroactively. What? Then why lay them off? These  federal employees could have stayed on the job to earn their money and could have provided the services to us taxpayers. A layoff, at least in the private sector means "you are laid off," "out of a job," NO PAY, period. But now Congress says that they will GUARANTEE the laid off fed employees back pay. The administration is going to the Treasury to print up more money to cover the employees salary. No wonder the US dollar is devalued like it is. Obama and his administration just prints more money whenever they need it. It's like tey have their own private Xerox machine. That's bad news folks.

Congress and the President played "Chicken Little" running around to all the news network and talk shows telling us the sky was falling and if the government shuts down they would lay off millions of federal employees because the government didn't have the money to pay these people?

Well, they laid the employees off but now they want to take my tax money and yours to pay the fed employees for sitting around on their butt at home. A paid vacation. Today  the government said they would also pay over 400,000 federal Pentagon employees back pay and call them back to work. What a rip-off.

The only ones hurt by the government shutdown is the small businesses across the country and the average every day citizen. We, the taxpayer, have been shut out of visiting National Parks and shut out of having  access to federal facilities . But these federal employees who could have been actually earning their salary by providing us taxpayers government services were sitting at home twiddling their thumbs  KNOWING that they would be paid for doing NO WORK whatsoever. Apparently the only people that is supposed to suffer from a government shutdown is the little people not employed by the federal government.

 The Congress people have been getting paid a salary and  now the Congress said they will guarantee  that all of the federal workers will get paid back pay for doing  no work. WOW!

This government shutdown scare is just a big "dog and pony" show between the two parties and the White House who refuse to do the peoples work as they were elected to do.

Personally, I say: These federal employees who have been laid off should not receive  one cent of salary for work they did  not do. No back pay.

If Congress votes on this issue the vote should be against any back pay to federal employees. As a taxpayer I resent the fact that this incompetent Congress intends to pay their workers for  not doing their job. We were told that the government did not have the money to pay fed employees to provide services.  So why now tell us that these same employees will receive  back pay for being off the job?

What is the administrations and governments idea of a layoff? What is their understanding of the word "layoff"? Outside of  these government bureaucrats - -  to  most any sensible, reasonable  person that ever held down a job knows a layoff  means you are told not to report to work and you DO NOT get paid a salary while your are off work. You only get paid and earn a wage WHEN you are actually working on the job.

People- I offer a suggestion: - -  write, email, fax or call these idiot Congress people in Washington and tell them NOT to pay these federal employees who already think they are an entitled group.

A second suggestion: If these Congress people pay the federal employees for sitting on their "ASS" at home instead of allowing them to provide government services to we, the taxpayer - -GET RID of these looney-tunes. Throw them out of office. I don't care if they are Democrats, Republicans, or Independents. Vote them out - -put some new blood in there. -And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
