Essential roles within the government still get paid when the government shuts down. They just keep paying money they haven't yet printed. When the government has a budget again, they calculate that in. Don't act like you don't get paid, fed boi.
They actually do not. We almost had to take a loan last time.
So, I am not sure you are aware how entitled you sound.
Gov't workers have unreal job security healthcare/benefits and salaries. If us non Gov't folk have a bad year, we don't get back paid, we get fired. That isn't delayed pay, that is zero pay plus being thrown to the sharks of the black hole of a job market.
Yes, it sucks. But i'm sorry, your delayed but garunteed pay is not more important than the actions and monies buried inside a terrible bill.
Suck it up butter cup, it aint about you, it is about the durational health of the country.
Also, diversify your income.
