It was reported by USA Today that we avoided a shutdown within the government. In the midst of all that is taking place in the United States of America, President Biden has sent Billions in Tax Payers money to Ukraine in contingence of them fighting a war. During this time there is a crisis for Federal workers getting compensated for their work and being able to keep their jobs and careers.
So much things are happening within the United States; is there really funds that should be sent for war when the workers within the Federal Government is not receiving compensation for their performance within the work place? There has been a spending bill that has been put into play for workers to receive compensation and keep them in a job until December 16, 2022. What is the next step moving forward? What is the next step for our country? You have people that are losing jobs and homes during the years that continues to pass within this country. The government is clear in finding away to assist and help everyone and not the ones that matter the most. The citizens that reside within this country, the ones that keep everything moving and the country moving forward with the work that they do daily.
