I'm with Wilbur

Wilbur Ross, Trump's millionaire commerce secretary, says he doesn't understand why federal workers are going to food banks during government shutdown



You work for the federal government. Your work is steady and your pay is at the very top of the scale for what you do. Your benefits are to die for. You have missed one paycheck and you're going to food pantries for food? You don't save any money? You don't have a credit card that you can temporarily use? You're getting all of your back-pay once this is over. You're going to be evicted? Who's your landlord, Ebenezer Scrooge? And do you know how long it takes to evict someone? And, your mortgage payment is due? Who do you bank with, the Bank of Nigeria?

You're in the mess you're in and it's only been a month? What is it you do for the federal government, again?
