But seven lawmakers - all House Republicans - opposed the measure. Those 'no' votes came from Reps. Justin Amash(Mich.), Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Glen Grothman (Wis.), Thomas Massie (Ky.), Chip Roy (Texas) and Ted Yoho (Fla.).

If a teacher's union can provide no interest loans for these folks, can't congress do the same?

But it may be too late for some

Federal employees get paid for not working? Like SenateDems HouseDemocrats Why care if govt ever re-opens?

They can thank nancy & shumer for no checks or border security. Maybe they have migrants ready to fill those positions, they are already hard at work on a carbon tax scheme but their zombie follers regurgitate every word these traitors spue! Mr. Trump is the only one focused 🇺🇸!

Gotta knock Mitch out of the box. The Founders has to have written something in the fine print.

No shit

They need help now! Money later won’t matter if they don’t get paid until then!

And that does exactly what for the current situation?

Not much emphasis on the contractors who are really getting crushed by this!

Back pay for furloughed federal employees to include add-onsEmployees furloughed from shuttered agencies will receive both basic pay and any special allowances they normally would have received, once their agencies reopen. Meanwhile, those agencies are told to be 'accommodating' to employees still working but without pay. Why can’t they just pass standalone bills? Why does everything have to be a christmastree? Jam tomorrow😜 Shutdowns are such a waste of money. We back pay (as we should) but we are paying for work not being done. Nobody seems to consider all the money going out the window. The GOP only cares when a Democrat sits in the oval office.

MakeIt Yes because if they don't pay it back it would be getting paid twice for the same work, essentially a pay raise of 100%. Math is not that hard; of course they need to pay it back if they take an advance pay and THEN receive back pay. CommonSense
