A government shutdown means I don't get my paycheck. So comrades, please tell me what's being fought over in the budget negotiations. I haven't been paying attention. (hexbear.net)

I'm a federal employee being required to work during the shutdown (if it happens). I have a critical public safety related job. I'll probably get paid when it's all over. However, I have a lot of coworkers that are really getting fucked

Because I hate hearing about bourgeois bullshit I haven't been paying attention to congressional news. Well, now they got my attention. What the hell is going on over there?
