4. This is one reason I have no patience for DUers who dismiss the hardship the shutdown imposes

on government employees as no big deal because "they're still going to get paid ... this is just a paid vacation ... etc." Not only is it difficult for most people to go without a paycheck - especially during the holidays - but, regardless of the precedent, they have no guarantee that they'll get back pay this time around. They have to go through all this facing the possibility, however remote, that they won't ever be paid.
