Hundreds of thousands of federal employees are taking the
brunt of the partial shutdown, going without paycheck in this holiday season,
380 thousand federal workers have been furloughed with no guarantee that they will
be payed retroactively after the shutdown, 420 thousand employees deemed
essential are working without pay, including 41 thousand law enforcement and
correctional officers, not to mention tens of thousands of customs and border
protection agents and customs officers.And, this is likely to continue for
quite some time.
Not affected by the shutdown are, among other, Trump’s senior
adviser/daughter Ivanka Trump and her White House fellow employee husband Jared
Kushner, both government employees in the Trump administration. With a shocking
disregard for the feelings of those impacted by the actions of her father, Ivanka
and Jared chose to flaunt their wealth and power by taking a vacation, along with
their three daughters, in Trump’s Florida estate at Mar-a-Lago.
It may be mentioned that they were being looked after by
their secret service detail which is NOT being paid!
By the way, according to the White House, Kushner was a
critical part in negotiating the shutdown
