    Trump's economic adviser compares shutdown to vacation


    White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said furloughed federal workers who are not getting paid during the partial government shutdown are "better off" because they didn't have to use vacation days.

    "Huge share of government workers were going to take vacation days, say between Christmas and New Year's.

    And then we have a shutdown and so they can't go to work, and so then they have the vacation but they don't have to use their vacation days," Hassett told PBS during an appearance on "NewsHour."

    "And then they come back and then they get their back pay, then they're, in some sense they're better off," Hassett said.

    nope. I was taught to never rely upon government for money......a lesson you obviously failed to learn. Bud, been figuring it out all of my life. Yet you criticize me for remaining off the government dole. So how much do they give you?

    While worded poorly and obviously depending on the length of the furlough, he is not really wrong. The people who really get shafted are the ones that have to go to work, they all will get paid in the end so the ones that are at home will eventually get paid and in essence have extra vacation days because of it.
