Water Watcher, Do you know what the term Non-Essential Employees means in the Federal Govt? It does not mean they are not absolutely needed for the Dept of Defense or even law enforcement such as the border patrol. We do not send our soldiers, sailor and airmen out to forage for their supples, arms and food. A vast majority of the acquisition personnel and Depot operations in DoD are considered non-essential, but our military could not function without non-essential employees providing the guns and butter required. Do you want Social Security and the IRS to totally shut down with the exception of a few higher level employees. They could not do the job even if they worked seven days a week and 24 hours a day. I dare say the Federal Govt. would absolutely crumble if only essential employees came to work for a month. I think you are an attorney, and I ask you to simply think what laying off non-essential employees would do to the Federal Court System. You might also think about the Veterans Administration, FBI, DEA, ATF, and the list goes on.

All of the above is just a very small part of it.
