The House has sent multiple funding bills to the Senate which Reid won't hold a vote on. Obama has also promised to veto at least some of them if they did reach his desk, but of course Obama has nothing to do with it.

We've been told by our TAG that we will actually get a paycheck on the 15th. Technically, since the 14th is a holiday, and the 12-13 is a weekend, we should see the deposit on Friday.

Yeah, I saw an e-mail about that after I had already posted. Should be good to go, but it does suck for all those non-essential ADOS folks that they have to put on orders retroactively - they said the earliest they'll see their pay is the 18th.

Well considering the Republicans and Democrats had a deal in place months ago and the Republicans reneged Id say the Republicans chose the shutdown.

If you want to blame Obama for passing a law two years ago that Republicans dont like then sure.
