Original Note:
While federal employees will eventually be paid, it could take weeks, and that is enough time to cause serious hardship. Contractors are not guaranteed backpay. And only some creditors will waive payments -- student loans, for example, are not forgiven during shutdowns. https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/congress-has-to-pass-another-stopgap-funding-bill-what-happens-in-a-shutdown/3784733/
