Then compared the shutdown to a private company, specifically like GM, closing. "Why are government employees so sacrosanct? Private sector employees deal with this all the time... The government’s not immune to these things."

OMG how out of touch are these people? 1. Custodial, food service contractors DON'T get paid back. 2. MANY fed employees ARE paycheck to paycheck b/c DMV cost of living is HIGH. 3. Creditors don't adjust due dates waiting for back pay to kick in. Lots of bills due 1st of month.
-
Contractors don’t get paid when a company or gov. changes contractors. Happens all the time.
-
Fight for unions in every industry, contract work is a tool of the rich to abuse the labor force.

Ask the good senator this. Will banks attempt to foreclose on those loans where payments are missed or late due to a shutdown? If not, I can forward him the mortgages of several thousand that HE CAN PAY FOR. The only walls we care about are the four holding up the roof.

I’m a federal employee, I live paycheck to paycheck. I don’t make 100k a year.
-
Only about 15-20 percent of federal workers make over 100k a year. I was working as a gs 11 during the last shut down 65k single parent definitely paycheck to pay check...

Maybe I can pay my bills with the wall proponants
#ThoughtsAndParayers ? -
Maybe the go fund me wall campaign should be redirected to any gs 11 and below :) I’m all for that!

Scott Perry is one more out of touch politician who has no idea what he's talking about.

Just to be clear..Govt employees are NOT always paid for furloughs..I did not get paid for at least two before I retired. If that is the case then I guess I am owed some back pay.

This guy is out-of-touch with reality. Government employees aren’t rich folks that have extra money lying around. Most would have to dip into there savings, if they have that, or take a loan from TSP retirement accounts. Some don’t have either.
-
Yes and it’s very stressful not knowing when you will return. And a bit of a blow to the ego to be called “nonessential”.
-
That does hurt a bit, huh? I don’t think POTUS understands how many people outside of government will be effected by a shutdown, especially his base.
