My pay, Your pay, No pay

As the potential "Government Shutdown" is looming, military families are worried. Contrary to popular belief military personnel are not rich by any means. I've heard over the years that I am "well off" or "rich".. sorry to disappoint you but we make close to the same pay as our private sector counterparts (If you add up benefits). This government shutdown won't kill anybody financially but it will definitely hurt many of them.

See, many people still live pay check to pay check, especially in this economy, and any disruption in pay could potentially cause people to fall behind on their mortgages or utilities. As everyone knows those are 2 bills that you never want to fall behind on.. credit companies are like vultures when it comes to these. The result could be higher percentages, rate increases, denial of services.. these are all worst case scenarios. For me personally, if the government shuts down then my family and I will be alright, not just because we are planners but because we are members of Navy Federal Credit Union. According to their website NFCU will cover the April 15th active duty military deposit if they have their military pay direst deposited there, not allotments to them from other financial institute.

Here is list of services that would be affect if the government was to shut down. Many of these departments are essential in my opinion.

Demoncrats and Republicants continue to play party politics even on the brink of a huge disaster for this country. They continue to blame each other for the reason why a budget can't get passed. At this point I really don't care what you have to do to pass this damn thing, as with anything compromise, both sides. I don't care about women health issues it should just be labeled as Health issues and I don't care about the EPA. How does this sound??  Demons you get to keep the EPA funding and Republicants you get to cut funding to Planned Parenthood. Done and Done, sign it and move on. Take the weekend and spend your ill gotten pay on something stupid and ridiculous, just like you always do anyway. And know that you single handedly saved America.. that's what you jackasses think anyway... ◦
