One of Senile/Liar/Coward Harry Reid's card he has played during the shutdown has just been taken away from him.
From Fox News: The Pentagon on Sunday called back to work most of its roughly 400,000 civilian employees, based on administration lawyers’ legal interpretation of the recent government slimdown.
Hagel said the decision to recall the workers is based on a Pentagon legal interpretation of a law called the Pay Our Military Act.
The measure was passed by Congress and signed by President Obama shortly before the slimdown began.
“Attorneys concluded that the law does allow the Department of Defense to eliminate furloughs for employees whose responsibilities contribute to the morale, well-being, capabilities and readiness of service members,” Hagel said in a written statement. “This has been a very disruptive year for our people … .Many important activities remain curtailed while the shutdown goes on.” http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/10/06/pentagon-orders-400000-furloughed-civilian-employees-back-to-work/
Reid has been saying that he has 1,100 furloughed workers at Nellis AFB and that is why we cannot treat kids with cancer at the National Institute of Health.
Now, he can't say that.
And the other telling thing is this: Out of the million(s) of government employees, only 400,000 remain furloughed. These jobs are considered non-essential. How many of these jobs could be eliminated, I wonder, without hurting anybody?
