    Federal workers: Trump says you're on "strike." Is that what you feel?

        I support Trump in almost everything. I don't understand why he wants to screw over federal employees. I don't get it. I hope we get a raise and he doesn't cut our benefits and retirement like he wants. Many good people work for the Government. Many Veterans. #federalemployees

        No. My husband and I are both feds who are not being paid right now, we have 3 young kids. I want a paycheck and I definitely don’t want a wall.

        While I’m furloughed the mission of my agency doesn’t stop. I feel helpless; I am NOT on strike.

        Trump has a horrible history with employees and suppliers. They are all interchangeable and should be willing to work for less than what was originally agreed upon. That’s been his methods for a very long time. No surprises on how he feels about federal employees!

        As we say in the south, HAIL NAW. *ahem * No, seriously. It feels terrible to be used as pawns. 19 years of federal service and this is what they do to us? We have kids. Mortgage. Bills. It's wrong. We deserve better.

        Nope! Not affected directly by the shutdown but it angers me that he gives his people $10k plus raises and takes away our puny 2.1 percent COLA, but doesn’t surprise me at all

        American citizens across the nation should be angry about the shutdown. It’s a waste of money and all of us will end up paying for this.
