No. My brother in law stopped doing gov't work, but he's still paid to do busy work though. He works for a contractor.
I have friends who are gov't employees with non-essential jobs. They are on furlough. Furlough is not good though for them money wise. It's a free unpaid vacation though.

food stamps
social security
welfare

GOP is making a short term debt ceiling proposal and democrats are content with that. so im sure that crisis will be averted, but theyre still not reopening the gov't til they negotiate the long term issues. fml

Not directly. I've noticed a couple of government sites I wanted to get info from were closed and I'm like WTF is up with that.

They should keep the national parks closed a little longer once the shutdown is over. I mean, pay the park employees for time lost just like everyone else, but just keep the parks closed for an extra month to spite all the nature loving tree huggers.
