LOL!! That would be great. Start by taking the funds out of the Congress's pockets. LOVE it.

Take that a bit farther.
The best way to get people engaged in gov't, and ultimately lower taxes, is to end the withholding. Make people write checks for every cent of their taxes due. If every three or four months, people had to send in cash for their "fair share", rather than have it held from their checks, I bet people would pay MUCH closer attention as to where it's going and how it is being spent.

Lucky you. We are still in the no pay status. Shutdown is dragging....

Good news! I'm happy for you (as is, I expect, your landlord).

... though unfortunately you may no longer qualify for this:

The private sector sympathizes, and they want to make it all better.

Sorry to hear that. Most DoD civilians are back as well. We still can't take sick or general leave though. I am on AWS3 though so I can work around that for the most part.

Don't know. I don't keep up with DoT stuff. Was "lazy bastards" sarcastic? I am sure they would be at work if they could.
