Meanwhile, the useless sacks of jelly in the House GOP caucus are deciding that if this whole shutdown business stretches out longer than 2 weeks because Obama won’t give into their demands, they’ll make the sure the really important people get paid:
House GOP Want To Continue Military Pay In Shutdown
House Republicans introduced a bill on Saturday to allow military pay to continue even if a government shutdown should occur, according to a report in Politico.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Mike Coffman (R-CO), would ensure that members of the military would be classified as essential employees. Earlier this week reports revealed that military pay could be halted should a shutdown last longer than two weeks.
