Military is guaranteed back pay.
Back pay.
As in, they aren't getting paid RIGHT NOW. Guess what? Bills wait for nobody. They keep coming in every month whether you have a paycheck coming in every month or not.
A lot of people can soak up one month of no pay and collect their back pay and everything will be fine. A lot of people will feel that sting for a month and be okay in the long run if that happens.
But what happens if this shutdown drags longer than last time because Democrats are so insane they just won't give in?
What happens when the military hasn't gotten a paycheck in 2, 3, 4 months?
Democrats have no idea what kind of pressure cooker they are heating up right now. The longer these people go without getting paid, the worse it's going to get - for Democrats.
Nothing will motivate them more to take action when ordered to do so than being 3 months behind bills having difficulty keeping things from going to collections. If the Democrats think they can starve out the military that way, they're in for a special kind of hell that they are really not prepared for.
I have no idea what any of this is supposed to mean.. Many live paycheck to paycheck if they have families
I thought I was very CLEAR that,
our Troops not getting PAID is.
not really a Problem,
they have JAG,
the Judge Adjutant Generals Office,
full of LAWYERS that,
can Renegotiate ALL of those Contracts,
BECAUSE of the shut Down....
Normally,
The End result is,
Better Contractual Terms....
And can tie up Negotiations,
For Months,
Possibly Years....
I understand the words you are saying to me but I'm still not sure if I am buying what you are selling.
