When is the garage sale? I got dibs on the oval office furniture.

I think obammy paid for his own office furniture, albeit with a taxpayer-funded salary.

I dont understand how that a couple hundred people control more wealth in this country then 3,000,000! The middle class is disappearing in this country & it going fast. Once the gap is made between the rich & poor in this country it will be hard to get the wealth out of the hands of the rich & create a middle class again in this country!

I dont understand why shutting the pay down for the Army, Marines, Air Force, Navy is fair to the people serving our country. They stand to lose their lifes everyday across Sea's trying to protect our country. But they cant collect pay to support their children & wifes at home!

What has this country come to! Old men create war & young men fight them. It seems old men get to keep their pay while young men take the hit too now these days.

It had a rider that cut funding for planned parent-hood, basically the republicans are trying to cut funding for abortions which I agree with but I don't think they should have compromised the CR and pay for our troops. They could have defunded in a later bill.

I hadn't heard that. I agree, thats another BS move, our government needs to get out of the business of law based on morality and stick to "do not infringe upon others rights".

Barry can pay the troops ANY TIME HE WANTS TOO. He can sign an executive order, just like Reagan AND Clinton both did when this situation came up during their presidencies. Obama is a sorry bastard that wants our troops to suffer and blame the Reps for it. Piss on him. The Dems have put abortion OVER the rest of the country, including the military. Shut this fucker down.

That's weird. I flew into Kuwait and got the first flight to my base with no problems. I guess the pilots didn't get the memo.

No one should have received any pay freezes as of yet. The first ones affected would see it around the 15th of this month. None of the operations out here will be affected other than the troops' pay. Operationally, it'll still be the same (unless the troops stage a walk-out LOL).

This is truely a fucked up situation for them, though... especially since Congress and POTUS are still getting paid.

especially since Congress and POTUS are still getting paid.

I think that is the part that really baffles everyone. Are they not a part of the government? How the hell are they excluded from the mess THEY created. A militia should be formed to round up Obama, throw him with congress, create a blockade outside of Congress forcing them to sit and get this straight now. We will allow water and bread to be sent in. For every agreement that has been made, we will send in one prostitute and Dan Bishop.

They consider themselves exempt since they are "essential," yet I see no planes loading up the troops and heading home.

Again

It's normally the 15th but it looks like it will be The 11th, article I read says we will be paid for whatever we earn up the shut down of the government.

EDIT** again...

After the shut down we are supposed to be reimbursed what we are owed, I just foresee a huge cluster fuck with this, especially coming off a deployment, anyone that has ever had a pay issue in the military knows sometimes it can be a royal pain to get it straightened out. Now with everyone in the military having a pay issue... going to be a whole lot of no fun
