And Trump should NOT sign this. You want to hold the people hostage, then your government non essential people can go without pay. They'll be coming after YOU before long.

The Democratic Party should be responsible for paying all back pay.

Dems are in the drivers seat. This is when they always fold.
-
No because republicans control the senate. Trump sa d on TV he’ll be happy to shut the government down and take ownership of it.
-
Educate yourself before speaking. Just because you own a slight lead in the house doesn't mean everything is passes-just like it forsnt when Dems have control. Trump doesn't even have a bill to pass so it cannot be his shut down yet- its ANOTHER SCHUMER SHUTDOWN!
-
The house, Congress and the "so called " president are ALL REPUBLICANS!!! THIS IS TOTALLY ON THEM. THE HOUSE COULD PASS SOMETHING AND THE GOP CONGRESS WILL SHUT IT DOWN AGAIN
-
That neatly sums it up. It would be like someone throwing a house party and bitching that the temp ain’t right. Dude it’s your house...do something.

@SenSchumer, you will not get your Federal govt open or backpay without wall funding. Abandon your shutdown strategy. Without wall funding, you’re not opening the govt today, next week, or January 3rd when Democrats taken control of the House, or December 2019 or 2020, capische?pic.twitter.com/Ztxdh1MUWqThanks.

Thank you Senator Van Hollen and Senator Cardin. I’ve been through this drill several times in my 32 years of federal employment. Ensuring the guarantee of back pay will relieve a lot of anxiety.

The government is already shut down for Christmas genius.

The government does not shut down for Christmas genius. YOU may not work but veterans medical personnel computer operations and MANY more work 24/7 genius. You RWNs are true idiots. None of you know how government works.

It’s great for the federal employees but no one mentions the federal contractors who don’t get paid retroactively at all. :/ once I’m out of leave i have to use LWOP and that’s going to suck.
-
And you absolutely SHOULD get retroactively paid.
-
It's bull sh_t. Why should federal employees be granted favors that don't exist for everyone else? Do furloughed coal or oil workers get paid when their jobs suddenly end??? Of course not. Why should Federal employees have a better existence than coal workers?
-
They get unemployment benefits when they get laid off. If you were an actual American, you'd know this.

Hey, 800,000 Federal workers who are 80 percent Dems please work for the American People, not for the Democratic Party. Stand with the rest of the Country to Build the Wall. Don’t ask questions if the government to be shutdown or not. Remember you are getting paid by taxpayers!
-
America doesn't need the wall. Americans don't want the wall. Turn off Fox News.
