Troops Won't Receive Paycheck if Government Shuts Down

“Members of Congress, however, will continue to be paid.” Of course they will. For as long as you continue to pay them. Not that there will be a shutdown, just scare tactics, the soldiers overseas won’t get paid, the elderly won’t get their social security, blah, blah, blah… But Congress and the crew still get their money. HA HA HA. The Founding Fathers had a solution for such situations. I think they would have approved of noncompliance.
