House votes 407 - 0 to reimburse Federal workers when the shut down ends.

Posted by CovingtonCat Oct 5 '13, 10:51

So essentially, a paid vacation. What stupidity.

I'm all for everyone getting reimbursed (it wasn't their fault) but this is just ridiculous. The pressure is off the teabaggers to vote for a clean CR. Default, here we come!

  - People have short memories. There's a reason these things happen in off years. - Tim Oct 5, 11:59 1
    - Wisconsin was partly a "we don't like recalls" response from some voters. -- nm - TWuG Oct 5, 12:08
- And I'm sure a good number of voters think the shutdown saves money. -- nm - Mara Oct 5, 11:03 3
  - The same people that think *not* implementing AHA will save money, too? - JaxSean Oct 5, 11:19
  - Well... it was until this! -- nm - Spawn Oct 5, 11:06 1
    - Ha! -- nm - mud Oct 5, 11:12
Yeah, this is such a no win. -- nm - Spawn Oct 5, 10:58
Will they have to pay back any unemployment they receive? -- nm - Mara Oct 5, 10:57 7
- I read somewhere that yes, if they are reimbursed, they are required to return any unemployment. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 5, 11:17 1

- I'm sure but I doubt anyone has collected anything yet. KY has a 1 week waiting period and then you don't file your first claim until after the 2nd - CovingtonCat Oct 5, 11:00 4
  - I think she means when this drags on for a few weeks and everyine *does* start collecting. Think the answer is that they will pay it back at tax time. -- nm - Spawn Oct 5, 11:01 2
