NBC晚间新闻 政府停摆致使上百万美国人没有工资（在线收听）

Among those working without pay, the very secret service agents protecting the president, US Customs and Border Patrol, marshals, ATF and DEA, most NASA employees, 14,000 air traffic controllers and 51,000 TSA officers. All should receive back-pay once the government reopens, though that could be a while. Many of those people that you talk about are on my side. In Boone Iowa, furloughed EPA worker Joe Zimmerman and his family are trying to make ends meet. Everybody talks about 800,000 federal employees, well that's just the 800,000 of us who work. How many wives, husbands, spouses, partners, children, parents, how many more people are associated with that 800,000 employees?

Also furloughed hundreds of thousands of FDA food inspectors. Meanwhile a support network is recommending garage sales for furloughed members of the Coast Guard. While TSA officer Robert milhollin working without pay fears he won't be able to close on a new home since the bank needs proof of income. We don't know when this is going to end. We don't know when the income stream will pick up again. Tonight the TSA says it understands the stress the shutdown is putting on officers and their families, many living paycheck to paycheck. The Union says some officers are starting to quit as they're unlikely to be paid on Friday.

在那些工作而没有薪水的人员中，有保护美国总统的美国特勤局的特工，美国海关和边境巡逻队的员工，执法官，酒精，烟草和火器管理局的员工和美国缉毒局的员工，大多数美国宇航局员工，14000名空中交通指挥员和51000名运输安全管理局官员。在政府重新开门的时候，他们都应拿到补发工资，尽管这可能会需要一些时间。你刚才说的很多人都是在我身边的人。在爱荷华州布恩县，暂时休假的美国环保署的员工乔·齐默尔曼和他的家人正在努力维持生计。人们都在讨论800000名联邦雇员，但这只是我们当中有工作的800000名雇员。跟这800000名雇员有关的人中，又有多少妻子，丈夫，配偶，伴侣，孩子，父母也受影响了呢?同时，数十万食品和药物管理局的食品检查员也被迫休假。与此同时，一个支持网络正在为休假的海岸警卫队成员推荐车库销售工作。还有，运输安全管理局官员罗伯特·米尔霍林正在无偿工作，他担心因不能给银行提供收入证明而无法买到新房。我们不知道政府停摆什么时候会结束。我们不知道什么时候能回到拿薪水的日子。今晚，美国运输安全管理局表示，我们明白政府停摆给雇员和他们的家庭带来的压力，他们中有很多是靠薪水生存的。联邦政府说，因为周五不太可能拿到工资，有些官员已经开始辞职。
