"No matter which side of the aisle you stand on, NO ONE should have to go without pay for weeks at a time to satisfy political ideologies or egos," the social media post continued. "The welfare of hardworking Americans should not be jeopardized or exploited for political gain."
A Government-issued identification card is all that's needed to qualify for the offer, Horse Thief Hollow Owner Neil Byers said. Whether or not the employee is furloughed will be on the honor system, he added.
