Well those at work today and in the future should be paid.

Those that were furloughed and stayed home should not.

And the furloughed fed employees who chose to march in front of the Dirksen Federal Bldg. in Chicago yesterday and today are getting some much needed and long overdue exercise and should be happy for that.
