House unanimously approves back pay for 800,000 furloughed federal workers
By Carrie Dann, Political Reporter, NBC News
The House on Saturday unanimously approved legislation to provide retroactive pay for furloughed federal workers after the government shutdown ends. The vote was 407-0.

So what is the point of the shut down? If part of your point is that government costs too much and you shut it down, doesn't approving back pay run counter to you point? At this point, just let them go back to work, its costing us the same and nothing is getting done....hmmm, kind of like Congress.....
 
Shows the "shutdown" is just political grandstanding and not based on any "fiscal Savings"....Really more like temper tantrum a five year old would do....The Republican House has really disgraced itself over this non sense

That is kind of confusing but I am much more concerned about President Poseidon closing the oceans just because.
 
It's just the latest House stunt - they passed this law so for the sole purpose of arguing that the Dems should now also support the GOP's selective spending bills for things they've been using as a political football.

I just heard Eric Cantor's opening salvo with their latest Big Lie - "The Dems support paying federal bureaucrats but not research for kids with cancer!" The Pugs are flailing wildly trying to deflect the public's outrage at then for shutting down the government.

It does reveal beyond dispute that they are just using the House as a forum for their political games - they don't really care about the deficit, as they proved today.

They had no problem putting 800,000 (and counting) people out of work...Remember all their Bullshit about "jobs"

Republicans don't want the shut down, Democrats do because they think it will work to their political advantage.

Republicans have offered individual bills to fund everything from the monuments to the National Parks to the Veterans' Administration; and virtually every other necessary function of government. Reid won't bring them up for a vote even though they have dozens of house Democrats joined Republicans in passing these bills.

That's how little the Democrats care about the American People and you want them to have the power over your health care when they pull crap like this.


Your going to have a nice short life after they get rid of the private health care providers, unless you can be able to pay out of pocket. That's why Canada is now privatizing much of its health care system. Socialized medicine simply doesn't work and Socialized any thing else doesn't work.

Read history and you will find out all about socialism's failures and misery.

Yes, but now the Pugs' position is that it's better to pay the employees for NOT working!

They should be rounded up and be put into insane asylums!

;-)

Of course it's "confusing" to you - the Pugs are completely incoherent.

It's all about deficits, but pay the employees for not working?

Insane!

If this is true, then I hope you're admitting that the Dems are insane also.....

The back pay measure was introduced by Democrat Jim Moran of Northern Virginia, which has one of the country’s highest populations of federal workers.

Both the Democrats and Republicans passed it....lead by a Democrat. I think it stinks! Why should someone get their regular pay when they're sitting home on their asses? Don't they get unemployment? Do they not get unemployment now that they'll be getting their back pay? Will they get both? I think both sides are being pretty stupid on this move.

Hello?

The Dems are basically BEGGING Boehner to allow a vote on the clean Senate CR reopening the government so the employees get paid for WORKING. Boehner refuses to allow that vote.

You're equating one side (the Pugs) preferring paying employees for NOT working, with the other side (the Dems), which wants the government opened so the employees get paid for WORKING. Two COMPLETELY different positions.

Are you getting this yet?

Do you really think those thousands on furlough would agree to work right now with no pay? As I understand it, they were furloughed because we don't have the money to pay them. So, if they went back to work, we still wouldn't have the money to pay them until the shut down is over. Now with this passing, the government is going to spend even more to pay people backpay for doing nothing, who has been sitting on the asses. Why should they be treated any different than anyone else that gets laid off. My company doesn't pay people their back pay when laid off....they have to do with their unemployment checks. Why shouldn't furloughed workers do the same?

Just to catch you up Judy....the House sent a budget bill fully funding government except for ObamaCare.

Why do you find it surprising they would follow through with that by promising to pay federal workers furloughed by Obama and Reid?

I agree...BOTH parties are at fault, but these loonie liberals here just see what they want to see. This approval for back pay was brought up by a Dem, and they STILL blame the Republicans, when they ALL voted for it. If this pisses them off, why are they just pissed at the republicans? I will never understand their logic.

Yes I tend to agree with the righter side more than the left as they appear to cost us more of the liberties that a few decades ago made this country great. But I have cast more than 1 vote for a Democrat candidate
