Just Meh

So today, the government announced that any government employee will only receive half of his/her paycheck and will not receive a paycheck until the government comes up with a plan on how to make more money. Apparently the government is broke and they need to take their employee's money to make money. The positive is they will owe all the employee's back pay for their time working for FREE. 


Ski has been hit with this and it sucks, but I keep trying to think positively about it. Hopefully they will make a plan and we can get paid and just move on with our lives. 


Now here is when I start to complain. Everyone and I mean everyone is complaining that the SOLDIERS need their pay and deserve their pay, but it isn't just the military taking a hit! It is also civilian workers that have a contract or have been hired by the government. They are getting it even worse, they no longer are getting paid vacations or sick days, they may not even make the lost wages back. No one cares about that though right no they just care about our armed forces taking a hit. Don't get me wrong I love our military, but this time it isn't all about them. The armed forces are taken better care of then our civilian government workers. My husband will get his back pay because he is mission essential  worker but the other civilian workers are not mission essential. So let's react to the many civilian workers loosing money as well.
