They did.

There has never been any business loss due to worries over the national debt. The recession is over, corporate profits are skyrocketing, and the DOW is at or near its all-time high...all the while the debt continues to grow. The only measurable business loss identified since Obama has been in office was due either to Wall St. misbehavior or GOP threats to default on our bills and/or shut down the government.

Didn't realize you were talking about fed employees. That, I don't know about.

I just know about the local level, which felt the most negative impact.
