Hundreds of TSA screeners, working without pay, calling out sick at major airports
Washington (CNN)Hundreds of Transportation Security Administration officers, who are required to work without paychecks through the partial government shutdown, have called out from work this week from at least four major airports, according to two senior agency officials and three TSA employee union officials. The mass call outs could inevitably mean air travel is less secure, especially as the shutdown enters its second week with no clear end to the political stalemate in sight. (www.cnn.com) Mais...

Uh, it's not fake people. There are the majority of TSA screeners and supervisors NOT getting a paycheck right now. It's been this way for 3 weeks. ALSO, you are misinformed about your FAA (DOT) right now. FAA controllers are getting paycheck receipts that state $0.00 in their pay amount, no direct deposit on $0.00. As an airline pilot, would you want your controllers not getting paid in a stressful position as well? I sure wouldn't. Instead of using your KCM benefits and judging by just looking, ask one of those TSA agents about their current pay situation, or better yet, go to your local tower (operated by the FAA), and ask them how's the shutdown going for them, and see if they ask your airline for a cash advance to pay their mortgage or bills. This is no joke people. JB/ Miami FL.
Don't forget the U.S. Coast Guard, ...while considered a military branch of the armed forces their funding is under Homeland Security. My son and daughter in-law are living off their savings account. Trump is basically holding the government hostage to a tune of $5B.
Why is it Trump any more than Pelosi? $5 billion is a rounding error in the US budget. We sent pallet loads more cash than that to Iran.
Why? Because it’s HIS shutdown, that’s why. Or did you miss him saying on camera (which never lies BTW) that he would be proud to shutdown the government???
You don’t run the country like trump organization. Didn’t he know that? Didn’t you know that?

It stops if he signs a CR OR Pelosi let’s him have about 1 days worth of government spending for the wall.
If public works projects always stimulate the economy and walls don’t work like Pelosi says let him have it right?
The problem is wall do work, slowing the flow of undocumented Democrats for the left and cheap labor to be exploited for fat cat Repubs.

Crap !
And I suppose Mexico paying for it was a ruse, too?
Now it’s on the US TAXPAYER. Since Conservatives are always harping on about government spending and pork barrel stuff, tell you what, why don’t YOU PONY up your taxes since you’re in favor? How about it ? I’m out, sorry. I didn’t sign up for this, you go for it

OK alex...It's President Trumps shutdown! He and his supporters are behind it. We want and demand border security. What say you?
First, let me say that the whole world knows it’s his shutdown. It was on live TV, right? You did see him say he will own it, didn’t you?
Secondly, tell me why this was not done in the past 2 years when the WH and all of Congress was Republican? It would have been easy.
“We want and demand border security”. Most of what trump says is hetoric and half truths. And the MAJORITY of Americans dont want a wall! So, you are really saying his base which is a vocal but minority part of this country.
What would I do? I would not play into trump’s playbook which has never been that successful. We all know his MO. Open the govt and negotiate!
Didn’t he tout what a great negotiator he was. So., go negotiate. Not throw temper tantrums or threat of “emergency” EOs. Thats not leadership, my friend. Read the Art of The Deal. Trump style. You might learn a thing or two....
BTW. What happened to Mexico paying for it?? Was that a huge campaign promise? Didn’t you believe that? See how lop-sided things are when trump touches anything.
