I hate Obama. But I'd like to know where the author came up with this information. This action would hurt him immensely and I don't believe he would deliberately cause the military to go without their pay.

My husband and I put in four military deployments, sustaining injury, 30 combined years of service and we, along with many like us, will have trouble making mortgage in deference to Planned Parenthood (which is in business primarily to profit from killing developing children) and other masses of interest groups who just take without giving.

How can this not be the most obvious point?

If anyone has summarized it better than that I haven't heard or read it yet.

—You’re exactly right. POTUS wants his shutdown so he can try to gain political points from it, regardless of the effect that it has on everybody else. It’s insulting.

(And thanks for your, and your husband’s, service).

If he cuts off their pay then every single soldier should be called back home....immediately!

I don’t know if you meant the article there or your post #28 but I will stick with post #24 on this thread as the bottom line statement.

I don't believe this is the primary goal. Maybe a part of the overall goal.

And there lies the problem... the military will do the bidding of the president for a time without being paid.... but after that time (and no I don’t know what that will be ... it will depend on the service member) then Obambi will learn what the roman axiom about keeping the troops paid is all about.

Yes, there is the overarching plan aimed at achieving the goals and then there are the underlying principles that are the goals.

Of course, help yourself. I don’t believe I originated the use of “Death Eater” for our American leftists, but I don’t recall who did, so it’s a FRee term, as it were.

I don’t see how would any service member get paid if all the non-essential OPM personnel have been furloughed ????

Even if the money was made available, there is nobody to enter the work record data and approve the payment.

nobama will close government, stop military pay...and leave on yet another vacation with his loser-grifter family to Williamsburg, VA.

Great leadership, great leader, nobama.

nobama hates you, hates your family, hates Free America, hates Americans, hates the Constitution and hates the Bill of Rights. nobama is a hate crime foisted upon the USA. nobama is the Destroyer.

Sounds to me as if Barry "is shutting down the government."

How is that going to play among the dependent-class that constitutes his base?

So...he’s threatening to withhold military pay. He is the Commander in Chief, shouldn’t his paycheck be withheld? Oh wait he needs funding to take the Clan on a vacation, my mistake. Just hell bent on destroying what country we have left. Why hasn’t impeachment been enacted already!!!!!!!!!
