This government shutdown has really shown how cold hearted some people in Washington can be towards those affected by the shutdown. With Kevin Hassett who is Trump's advisor suggesting in an interview on Thursday that the nearly 800,000 federal workers who aren’t getting paid are “better off” because they’re on an extended vacation.

That's not a vacation if you're struggling to pay for things such as rent, a house, bills, etc. I don't think Hassett or others in Washington would enjoy working with no pay.
