If the corrupt clowns in congress want to go on strike, we should go on strike too- we can hold the economy hostage by walking out of work and protesting until they get their shit together. They are taking our taxes but accomplishing nothing that helps commoners like us with the funds. It's one thing to have a corrupt congress with a republican majority, but it's another thing to have a nonfunctional federal government. It starts with you- spread the word and organize, no matter what your political beliefs are! I say we give them two weeks.

Yeah! that would really show… you?

They have it made. Why would they care?

It depends on the industry. About 10 years ago there was a government shutdown that looked to have no end in sight. If my memory is correct, air traffic controllers were told they had to work with no pay until the government shutdown ended. They got fed up, walked off their jobs, and almost immediately, the government shutdown was over.
