House unanimously approves back pay for 800,000 furloughed federal workers

Sorry, that's bullshit. I know it isn't their fault they've been sent home, but Obama's intransigence and petty gamesmanship is costing a lot of people. Businesses that are privately owned and operated in the National Parks at NO cost to the taxpayer have been shut down. The owners and employees aren't getting paid. Businesses that depend on traffic to the parks are losing business. Commercial fishermen in Alaska can't get permits and are likely to miss the fishing season. That's a small sample of the pain caused by Obama's shutdown. Let Federal employees share in the pain Obama is inflicting on the rest of us.
