Posts - Bill - S 3043 Military and Federal Employee Protection Act
senate 10/23/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that all federal employees, military members, and contractors who were affected by a government shutdown receive the pay and allowances they missed during that time as soon as possible. This legislation aims to make sure they are fairly compensated for their work despite the lapse in appropriations.

Appropriating what’s owed is fair, but maybe Congress should focus less on funding fixes and more on preventing these lapses.

Appropriating funds after the fact just encourages the government to spend like there’s no tomorrow and expect bailouts later.

This bill’s a Band-Aid for a broken system — paying missed wages now, but when’s the prevention plan?

Finally, a bill that puts workers before shutdown politics — about time we stopped playing games with people’s paychecks!

Good on them for fixing the paycheck glitch, but let’s hope this stops the cycle of shutdown madness altogether.

Government workers should get paid, sure — but Congress needs to stop dangling their salaries like ransom during shutdowns.
left-leaning 10/23/2025
When the government hustles to pay workers right after a shutdown, it shows a little respect for the backbone of public service.

Paying federal workers on time isn’t charity; it’s basic justice for those who keep the government running.
right-leaning 10/23/2025
If the government can’t budget properly, federal employees shouldn’t expect a bailout on top of their regular paycheck.
