Doesn’t this happen all the time though, why is this any different. It’s that government shutdown BS the workers don’t get wages for a couple weeks and then they get repaid when it opens up?

It happens all the time. The only time that it does not happen is when there is a Democrat in the White House and Republicans Congress. Republicans voted to raise it three times when Trump was in office. I’m a govt worker. If the govt shuts down, I’ll get a vacation. In the past we have always been paid back retroactively for the time off.
