I don’t know about you, but I can survive a government shutdown very well.
So can I but that's not my point. THIS is strictly election year politics at it's worst and it needs to stop NOW! The Democrats do this because they have the power (whitehut, Senate & Media). The Republicans act tough and then cave in.
We couldn't. I'm active duty...and we are still operating on CR. Our O&M budget has been continuously cut, yet prices continue to go up. I'm OK with that...we will do our part. I find it odd, though, that while MY baseline budget goes down between 10-20% a year...everyone else's in DC gets the same or an increase.
Anyway...just to let you know...the military is still on CR...that includes our DoD civilians...contractors (which we utilize a lot of now that we've outsourced the active duty)...our operating budgets...
