Someone should get an explanation from Doug Lamborn and Tough Guy Mike Coffman about why they would force our soldiers to fight without pay:
U.S. military troops at war in Iraq and Afghanistan would receive one-week's pay instead of two in their next paycheck if the government shuts down this weekend due to the federal budget impasse, according to a senior defense official.
Oh, and prison guards and undercover FBI agents:
"Under federal law, many classes of federal employees keep needing to work if the government shuts down. FBI agents serving under cover won't suddenly drop out, and federal prisons will keep operating. But the people who do these jobs won't get paid." Republicans hate our public safety and military personnel so much that they would force them to work without pay to try to score political points re: the budget - and many of these are budget items that President Bush didn't have the guts to put on our books!
I'm pretty sure those guys and gals making $174K might not even check in with their COS knowing their checks were not in the mail, though they sure do expect a helluva lot more from their inferiors - you, me, and the soldiers and officers that protect us every day. |
