Hagel seeks to bring furloughed Defense Department civilians back to work
Washington (CNN) - Even as furloughed civilian Defense Department workers streamed out of the Pentagon, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel began working half a world away to get all 400,000 furloughed personnel globally back to work.
“Hagel is looking to get as many people back to work as soon as he can,” a senior defense official told CNN on Tuesday.

But these are all the people the liberals in here are always bashing as overpaid consultants. I would expect the liberalsin here to be jumping for joy because they got furloughed.
Well, if they cannot agree on the whole kit and kaboodle, then at least pass some appropriations bills to get some of it back up and running.
So, literally half of the 800K jobs subject to furlough are in Defense.
Must be those "non-essential" government leeches conservatives keep carping about.
The shutdown demonstrates all the more reason why the federal government should be minimally invasive in our lives. And ironically this monstrosity of a law, Obamacare, will be the most invasive of all.
Gotta keep the war machine going. Death is our only major export.
