Nothing has been said about Federal workers' w2 forms. Some workers did not receive their last December check. Will w2s be sent out? During the winter, my husband is an AD for the USDA, not a GS.

If they worked in the private sector instead of leeching tax dollars they would be missing anything. Hopefully this forces govt to get smaller and people to quit

All of this because Trump's lie that Mexico would pay for the wall imploded, and he's now using federal workers as hostages to get ALL OF US to pay for his vanity wall, with the full complicity of the GOP Authoritarian Party.

This is what the rest of America will look like with Democrat policies. Build the wall! foxnews realDonaldTrump

1 thing is obvious during the Govt. shutdown & that is Govt. workers need financial planning help. A rule of thumb is to have 6 months of salary saved in an emergency fund. The fact that many workers can't make it financially after only 3 weeks or a month or so is sad. Save more.

Doesn't the union have funds for these types of situations?

If they are not working, they are non-essential. Fire them.

Fake news

This is a national disgrace brought to you by a petulant excuse for a president.

I'd be interested in knowing how much NPR paid each person to stand in that line, and how many takes they needed to get the picture right for this hatchet piece.

Let know one forget this. Trump/McConnell are to blame.

This gets complicated. As a Fed employee, technically, we can't accept ANY sort of financial deals or assistance. For example: I desperately need my car serviced and help with a New Year deductible . I've had people offer to help...but, I'm barred from accepting it.

It's also going to effect 10's of MILLIONS of people come FEBRUARY 2019.... If this carries on past January..SNAP BENEFITS for MILLIONS of PEOPLE WHO DEPEND on this Supplement every month, will be STARVING. For MOST, this is their ONLY means of FOOD! TrumpShutdown is the reason!

So are the 800,000 furloughed Federal workers and the untold number of similarly effected private sector employees going to show up in the January unemployment figures (assuming all the analysts haven’t been furloughed and can provide the numbers...)?

mc Donald trump burger king says them eat fast food burgers

Where can the unfortunate people get a free quick minimum daily calorie meal these days Where

Democrats come back to work and fund the wall enough with the political games while you play and continue to get paid

Similar to the Prophecy from the Book of Revelation Nice article ..we are posting it to our 'Twitter Rants' section at

I just want to point out that when federal workers take these jobs, they are told that should the government shutdown they could be furloughed.

These people don't deserve to suffer because of a wall.

It's sad when the nation has to come together to protect the people from the people who were supposed to be protecting them.

DC can suffer.

Federal workers seek loans, second jobs as shutdown lingersOGDEN, Utah (AP) — Rachael Weatherly is a senior adviser for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but she's considering trying to get a job at a grocery store. Weatherly is among the 800,000 federal employees who aren't getting paychecks for the first time Friday because of the lingering government shutdown. They are scaling back spending, canceling trips, applying for unemployment benefits and taking out loans to stay afloat, with no end in sight for a partial shutdown that enters its 21st day Friday and will be the longest in history by this weekend. Chuck and Nancy resisting looks very bad. Thanks, Trump 😖😖😖
