Yes, everyone DOES need to get paid.
Erving needs paid.
taters needs paid. I bet there are not a few vets on this board who would appreciate having access to their medical care and pensions--they need paid. We're getting sick and fucking tired of a bunch of idiotic know-nothings playing Russian Roulette with a .45 automatic, but instead of pointing it at their own heads they're pointing it at random at federal employees whose jobs they personally don't understand or care why they're important and needed. Because the people who need those jobs done are not the people who're pointing the fucking gun. And those gun pointing people are irretrievably venal AND stupid.
How about this marching moron--Rep Ted Yoho, who actually thinks and is willing to say on the record,
such gems as the following:
Quote:
Now, Yoho is ready for a bigger fight. He doesn’t want to raise the debt ceiling — ever again. The experts, and Republican leaders, say that would trigger a financial catastrophe.
But Yoho didn’t listen to them about the shutdown. And look how that turned out.
“I think we need to have that moment where we realize [we’re] going broke,” Yoho said. If the debt ceiling isn’t raised, that will sure as heck be a moment. “I think, personally, it would bring stability to the world markets,” since they would be assured that the United States had moved decisively to curb its debt.

How, precisely, do you attempt to reason with people that invincibly stupid? Oh, and the way he knows he's right is that he gets letters from constituents telling him so. Yeah, that's some expert testimony right there.
