The best protection they could give military pay is to include Congressional pay under the same conditions

Military doesn’t get paid - Congress doesn’t get paid

Problem probably solved

Probably not. Great idea though.

Since it is Congress that appropriates the funds, this will never happen.

Any budget that is delayed or late should suspend Congressional pay. They need to do their jobs and when they don’t they don’t get paid, just like most other Americans. CRs to fund government operations are BS.

That's hardly a motivation for Congress as most of them are millionaires and the rest live on graft.

= = = = = = = = = =
Congress is an ongoing criminal enterprise.

The Military isn’t — though they have the guns, the criminals control the movements and ammo.

If Congress doesn’t get paid they have to gripe about it as if they don’t ALL will realize that the pittance most of them get is nothing compared to the insider trading, bribes, pay offs etc etc hence, an ONGOING CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE..

They should be under the RICO blanket...
