WHO GETS PAID?

Who decided who would get paid and who would not when the federal government shut down? Putting welfare recipients before the military and other government workers does not make sense. I understand that welfare families need to eat, but so do military families and families of government workers. Where is the justice in taking from those who provide for others through taxes?
