If you have been paying any attention to the news, you probably know that the US Government has been partially shut since midnight December 21, 2018. More specifically, work at nine departments, as well as some agencies making up roughly 25 percent of the federal government, has either ground to a halt or is being conducted at a slower pace because the budget to fund their day-to-day operations has not been approved by Congress. As a result, a fraction of the 800,000 employees, who are considered “non-essential,” have been furloughed, or forced to take a leave of absence. The remaining “essential” employees are expected to report for duty as usual, but will not get paid until a budget has been approved.

wolfdog6년 이상''Unfortunately, their salaries are guaranteed under the US Constitution and, therefore, not subject to the annual budgetary process.'' That's not a very good constitution, and frankly the employees should be paid. They haven't been paid in 2 weeks now.
