If you can't pay your babysitter because Congress forgot to pay you, maybe it’s time to rethink who’s really responsible here.

If you want a reliable paycheck, maybe don’t bet on a government that runs out of money every year.

Government employees get paid for a reason; if Congress can’t budget, why should taxpayers keep bailing them out?

Supporting employees during a shutdown is common sense, but why are we only reimbursing instead of preventing the problem?

It’s a solid bandaid, but maybe Congress should focus on not cutting off paychecks in the first place.

Childcare bills? Fine. How about a full government that doesn’t leave parents in the lurch every budget season?

Reimbursing childcare during shutdowns? Sounds like more taxpayer handouts for avoidable chaos.

Finally, some justice for the folks who keep our government running while the rest of Congress plays shutdown roulette.

Making sure families don’t suffer during a shutdown isn’t charity—it’s basic decency from a broken system.
