    If there were any solidarity in this country, they'd refuse to go back. At least until the republicans get down on their knees and apologize for what they've created. WHAT A BUNCH OF IDIOTS.

    Pentagon and FEMA workers will soon be returning to work. I guess these so-called non-essential worker turned out to be essential after all.

    This is so sad....the DoD employees have been on furloughs all summer, now this. Let's get this good american back to work....to Heck with the angry haters in the Tea Party clown bridgade...these are our family, friends and neighbors. Just because the GOP/Tea Trolls hate everything gubmit (which is weird that they want to be in charge of something they are trying to destroy) but whatever....we will get rid of these RWNJ's in 2014, be patient.

    We are always hearing about how Social Security is going to run out of money.

    How come we never hear about Welfare running out of money?

    What's interesting, the first group "worked for" their money... The second didn't!!!

    Go get em boys!!! We cannot let the killing lapse. Our major export to the world is Death. How totally disgusting our government has become. Both sides. Whats sad is the rest of the world is beginning to share that disgust and may well decide to return our export to us one day. In spades.
