Keeping paychecks flowing during a shutdown? What a novel idea—maybe now Congress will stop holding livelihoods hostage.

If Congress can’t balance budgets on time, they don’t deserve to keep the lights on, let alone send paychecks.

Finally, a bill that says people, not politics, pay the rent. Federal workers deserve a paycheck, not a guilt trip.

If government can shut down, at least workers shouldn’t pay the price. Applaud this for putting humanity before shutdown theatrics.

A band-aid for shutdowns—better than nothing, but we still need a fix for the government’s temper tantrums.

At least someone’s trying to stop federal workers from being collateral damage in political standoffs. Small win for common sense.

Paying federal workers during a shutdown is like giving candy to a kid who threw a tantrum—it just teaches bad behavior.

Paying employees during shutdowns is decent politics, but let's hope it doesn’t encourage more budget games.

Why reward government workers when politicians can’t get their act together? Sounds like another bailout for bureaucracy.
