First, isn't it quite obvious that the government can't afford anything? We are, after all, the world's leading debtor nation. Ronnie Rayguns did that to us. And by blindly following his policies (yes, even through democratic admins) we continue to dig ourselves in further. It should be noted that these economic policies have been to the exclusive benefit of people like Bezos. One could take a little heart then, in the knowledge that he'll at least be required to spend a little on public servants - something NO ONE in his economic class has had to do for almost 35 years.
Second, Sunday was always a day of rest? Try telling that to healthcare workers, firemen, policemen, soldiers, etc. Not everyone got or has a job with week-ends off.
