I think it's the law that, that the Furloughed employees of the federal government, because of a shutdown, should be given back pay. I think that's what's going to happen here. The president doesn't want a single American employee to be harmed. There are good, patriotic people who serve the government, but provide all these services for the people. (07:30–07:35)
