It seems as if Republicans in Congress could not be content with their treasonous behavior during the debt limit "crisis". Before leaving town they had to hurl yet another insult at working Americans everywhere. You see in this brave new world of right-wing one-party rule in America one thing remains constant. While money is always available for the greediest and least patriotic among us to steal let someone actually try to work and be fairly compensated with it in this country and they are considered part of the problem. Sadly, by treasonous bastards who choose to go on vacation. Such is the on-going saga of the Republican War on FAA workers.

Yes, fresh after their terrorist "victory" in risking the economic collapse of America Republicans are in a jobs crisis putting thousands of more people out of work. In a debt crisis they themselves manufactured they are costing the government another billion dollars to do so:
The government is likely to lose more than $1 billion in airline ticket taxes because lawmakers have left town for a month without resolving a partisan standoff over a bill to end the partial shutdown of the Federal Aviation Administration.
Caught up in the partisan acrimony are nearly 4,000 FAA employees who have been furloughed. The FAA also has issued stop work orders on more than 200 construction projects, threatening the jobs of thousands of other workers. Air traffic controllers, however, remain on the job.
