If you want federal paychecks without work, maybe government isn’t the place for you—stop rewarding shutdown drama.

Federal employees shouldn’t be collateral damage in political standoffs; this bill says ‘enough’ to economic hostage-taking.

Sending more unemployment checks isn’t a solution, it’s a bailout for bureaucrats stuck in their own red tape.

Nothing like guaranteed unemployment benefits to remind Congress that workers shouldn’t pay the price for their shutdown games.

Finally, some compassion for folks who keep the government running when the lights go out—about time we put people over politics.

Helping shutdown workers survive is sensible, but let’s hope it doesn’t encourage more shutdowns—there’s a balance to strike.

Why should hardworking taxpayers foot the bill for government workers who can’t keep the lights on? Accountability matters.
