These people EARNED the overtime, the amount is ridiculous, this is the least that can be done for them after being stuck out there. Do we realize what sort of rehab they'll need just to be able to walk again? Let's not be an ungrateful people, we owe them this.
Are these astronauts MILITARY OFFICERS or Civil Employees... Military personnel are not hourly employees... many of the civil service senior officals are not hourly employes... they work for a salary... they do not qualify for overtime.
Fine... however callng it overtime may lead to problems with others expecting overtime.... think not think again. The President can simply write them a check. without the left screaming about the misappropriation of tax dollars.

Maybe he should call it something else like charitable compensation.

That is who Trump is. If the loons on the left ever knew what he does in the way of helping people, they might actually feel ashamed.

Trump can choose to give them a gift if he wishes!
