Unless they want the day off to attend the funeral or be in mourning, why should ALL federal employees get a paid day off at taxpayer expense for Gerald Ford's funeral? Is this a "floater" day off that they already have built-in or is it an extra one that taxpayers just pay for.
Don't want to get flamed by federal workers OK? An explanation of the perk is in order though.

President Bush declared it a national day of mourning, it is customary when an ex-president dies. Yes, they will even do it when Carter kicks the bucket.

Would you be asking this question if the funeral was for Carter or Clinton?
