The Gov't is shut down, and we are not saving a single penny in salaries because of it. In fact, we're paying folks to do nothing!
OK, seriously: How can I get me a government job?

(Even more seriously: I do feel blessed to live where I can write things like that without having to fear for my safety. That ain't so everywhere.)

Get lucky ;-)
But seriously, why punish the people who have absolutely no control over this matter? Again, I'm biased, but we're all still people with families at home with mouths to feed, rent to pay and bills to pay. We're really no different from employees from other companies. In fact, I could have easily been employed by someone else, but the government was the first to say "you're hired" in a tough job market.
