There is one MAJOR problem with shutting down our government: it will hurt military families.

Before September, there needs to be something to pay our military in case of Government shutdown. The REPUBLICAN Congress needs to go NUCLEAR over the Democrats over this.

Maybe ICE and Homeland Security should also be paid.

But there could be exclusions to this: any rank in the military about 2 stars (Generals, Admirals) can have their pay suspended.

The troops in the field need to be protected, not the Generals or Admirals.

Yes, that’s a damn shame, but continuing on the path of ‘taxing to the hilt and spending it too’ affects EVERYONE
