Non-Essential that's the term used for the 800,000+ government workers that aren’t getting paid during the shutdown. Who in the government determines those jobs that are non-essential? I’m not sure, but I’ll bet their not on that list. I’m sure the families of the unpaid federal employees believe they’re essential.
Being a Democrat or Republican or your belief in reason for the shutdown is not as important as the impact it has on the families shutoff from their wages. There’s probably not many people that would dispute that fact . . . except our elected officials.
Let’s talk about fairness. There’s many things that are not fair in life, but we understand that and deal with it in our own way. We the citizens of the USA elect politicians to represent us, so any decision they make that affects us. In truth that makes sense but for some reason it doesn’t affect the elected officials. Why?
I’m not just talking about the shutdown, social security is another hot topic for a later discussion. Here’s an approach I can get behind. In any governmental shutdown pay the 800,000 employees that are essential to their families well being, but suspend salaries of all elected officials. That seems fair to me, after all their the ones that can’t come to an agreement.
Isn’t it possible that a resolution will come quicker if the elected officials are required to work without pay? “Just Saying . . .”
