That's just your guess. You don't know where their money goes.

I work in some of the poorest areas in philly often. Everyone there has brand new nikes on their feet, and new smartphone and most of the cars have expensive chrome rims.But thats just your guess, you dont know what i see.

And how many of them are Federal employees?

none, the avg fed employee makes 130K a yr, they live in nice area and have better jobs than the avg citz. I am in the building trades, union and we dont make that, we also get no paycheck often, way worse than what this shutdown did..Now to be fair our work has been very steady for 2 yrs and we have enough work for a long while. My local is all back to work, we never seen it this busy but 3-7 yrs ago it sucked.

what do you do for a living?just curious
