Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says he doesn't understand why furloughed federal employees would need the assistance of food banks.
"I know they are, and I don't really quite understand why." He says the workers should be able to get loans. http://bit.ly/2S6zqbB

(8,419 posts)6. The most telling line was "when you think about it this is basically a govt secured loan"
He knows that a statement from the Gov that backpay will be issued is NOT going to be a valid for obtaining a loan. (And that is given him great leeway on being a fucking assole for stating the solution is to run down and get a loan)
What he is saying is, fuck off to the workers, I don't give a shit about your problem.
