Tell the rest of the story....sent home but they get full pay after it is over with thus becoming a paid vacation that does not draw down their vacation days they have accrued.
The bills get paid....the military will lose no pay.
The Law Enforcement etc continues.
This is all willy waving by the two political parties.
Non-essential employees are sent home.....which begs the question....why are they on the payroll to begin with if they are "non-essential".
