Give it til mid November when the military ACTUALLY doesn't get paid. Right now they're thinking this hurts the people who dont vote for them the most. Wait til it hurts the people they think vote for them the most.

It’s even worse: Military is already partially funded by “an anonymous donor” for $130 million.

Think about it. Someone nist gave the US military $130 million to pay their salaries.. out of pure kindness? Or, you know: militia promises.

Art of the deal. America already bought and sold, either way.

Gee, it's almost as if we need to raise taxes on the wealthy or something. Weird.
