A mere extension is really nothing to brag about. The Federal Agencies still do not have funding for the year - and their fiscal year begins on October 1. At least, Mitchie is not holding out to shut down the government agencies like his slimy ancestor (Newt) did back in the 1990's.

I was working for the government at that time in Washington DC and that shut-down gave me a 3 week paid holiday as no government employee lost any money due to being out of work for that time period. There was retroactive pay for everyone - but Newt's grandstanding cost the public millions of dollars all for nothing. That was part of his Contract On America.

Of course, I also got my regular 6 weeks of vacation time that year. All in all, lots of vacation time that year all at full pay.
