Our politicians have once again decided that if you are a gov worker during this gov shut down you are on paid vacation and you will get reimbursed for this time off. If you are a private employee who has been laid off like all the workers who depend on the Grand Canyon being open you are SOL. What we are getting here is a system where gov workers make more money, have better benefits and in general are treated as if they are superior to private industry workers. We get more like the old Soviet Union every day.
