They should have voted Republican.
You can’t get bad credit with less than 30-60 days. Their credit was already bad if that was the case.
31 days. If your credit is bad it already was. Usually takes 60-90 days to impact credit rating.
They only missed 1 paycheck and their credit would be affected after two weeks. At worst, they may have a late payment. Stop with the BS. They also will back pay. They better save because in 21 more days it is going to happen again because Dems love illegals more than Americans
They average $80,000 a year and missed one paycheck. And still get their back pay and benefits. Cry me a river. This why 90% of the people say they don't trust the news media.
I would not blame them if they quit and got productive jobs in the private sector.
That's not how any of this works. These workers didnt even get past the grace period. Stop fucking lying. Hey what happened to that Manafort Julian Assange story? Maybe you should sit this one out.
This is such bullshit. Their credit did not go bad after they missed 2 paychecks, which they will get soon. Every normal person in America has debts. Welcome to the real world, you entitled brats!
Taxpayers paying for 800,000 federal employees before this. What about those millions of people? Fuck em, keep taxing and spending to feed the beast? The Titanic was making good time on it's maiden voyage for a while too
Get a private sector job, quit the sobbing!!
I have little sympathy for those that voted for this fool but feel really sorry for the ones that didnt
This is complete BS, how do you think us non-governmental workers do it when we are laid off or not working. If you cant manage losing 2 paychecks that's on you. Just so stupid.
Oh piss off. Welcome to the real world where the rest of us get laid off all the time and have to choose between groceries or a few bills.
Scott Jones is a biologist with the United States Geological Survey and missed his first paycheck Jan. 14. He and his wife Kelly started a GoFundMe campaign, which has raised $9,000, the same day he missed the check.
Meanwhile, people continue to victimized by illegal alien criminals.
Fake News... Bad credit... Really?
Let's totally ignore personal responsibility, how about Fed workers don't save for emergencies, didn't apply for unemployment, etc. Many other people not in government jobs have problems too, but they don't get back pay to save their asses. Democrats don't care about Americans.
Really, in less than a month of no pay, amazing!
I was left with all that when Gov discriminated against my disability and kicked me out. They’ll survive
Bull$hit!!!!!!
I feel for these people - I really do. The stress must have been awful but there are Temp agencies all over the country. They could have gotten something to help them through a temp position
Don't care:
It was Nancy Pelosi who just left town and refused to even negotiate.
In one month they faced financial destruction? They missed one paycheck which they will now receive. Stop the fear mongering lies.
After 1 month? They get back pay for the debts, if they have bad credit they had bad credit before the shutdown and as far as 'shattered trust' welcome to the real world.
Thank God POTUS cared enough to open the government so they can get paid!!! PLUS Nancy can go back to traveling on OUR DIME!!! POTUSAManForThePeople
The mounting cost of Trump's wall paid by loyal American workers.
Bullshit. Bankruptcy after a loss of 2 pay checks. FAKE NEWS. Another swing and a miss by the tentacles of the Democratic Party.
one month and they are left with bad credit and debts? What a crock of shit...
Weird how this didn't happen until Nasty Pelosi took over as Speaker of the House.
Shattered trust in what? There was never any trust in the government to begin with. If you did trust any government or congress to do the right thing then you're just gullible. I'm sorry but its true.
Bad credit after two weeks really?
You mean like most Americans were for years? Specifically the Obama years?
Ummm they are ALL getting back pay! Bad credit from a couple weeks of no pay? Doubt it ! Keep publishing lies tho , it shows your true colors
In one month? Thus is not true. Stop making these people look stupid.
It's too bad most Dems voted NOT TO PAY THEM 3 times!!!
Bad credit after one pay? Debts when they are getting their back pay this week. Wow maybe we should replace them with smarter people
One month?!? Just one month. Cmon.
Federal workers should all form a national trade union after this and if a shutdown ever happens again, strike. That would stop the USA government functioning at all.
Bullshit. They were guarantted backpay. Creditors knew this. Fake news strikes again.
Bull shit! They get backpay Companies not reporting to Credit Bureaus and trust? They knew what they were signing up for!
Then get a real job we don’t need everything TSA worker should be private company
After missing a couple paychecks? The Guardian doesn’t even try to sound legit! 🤣
You dont get bad credit missing two checks during a furlough. These arent $15/hr workers either. Nice try though
If after missing just a few paychecks, workers are left with 'debts and bad credit', the problem is bad money management and nothing more.
and if trump keeps skipping his yellow pills, very like that lunatic would shutdown the government again next month
Oh please the shutdown was a month
Such bullshit
Which they know they should prepare for & then reimbursed retroactive ! Obama, (aka. Barry Soetoro), Shuts down Government Jobs for 17 days ? 😐👍🏻
Among other things...
Very sad that the democrats could not see the damage they were doing to the very workers they say they represent. Trump's compassion seems to be the greater.
