Sticking it our for the Dems (or the GOP) was soon going to get much harder.  Most of the federal workers can probably survive a month without a pay...but getting into 2-3 months starts having real consequences (evictions, etc).  If Trump hadn't covered the military paychecks, I would content that most of those folks are likely to be poorer and really living paycheck-to-paycheck than other federal employees. 

It's easy to say "this is for the greater good" when you're livelihood is not directly affected.  The blame for that may still split both ways, but we shouldn't be cavalier about it. 

Also, the originally so-called "clean" resolution got dirtied up in the process...including what appears to be an effective federal ban on hemp products.

QuoteIf enacted and signed into law, the hemp provision would mean hundreds of now-legal THC products — most commonly sold as Delta-8 or Delta-9 — would no longer be legal to sell. It is currently federally legal to sell hemp-derived THC products as long as they contain no more than 0.3% THC by dry weight. The language in the new legislation imposes a total THC limit of 0.4 milligrams and would effectively ban those products for personal or household use.
