    So, I hear the US government is going to be late paying

    the military this month ( at least some; I don't know the extent of the problem). 


    I wonder if anyone else is getting stiffed by Uncle Sam or if our military are at the bottom of the bureaucratic totem pole? 


    It seems to me, those folks' checks and auto-deposits should be issued first. What say ye?

    They're the same the world over, they have their own snouts in the trough first. 

    I hadn’t heard this. Damn-nation! I would think the military would be first above all else. And yes, I do see the Don being president if the democrats come down to a split vote.. Oh, well. Maybe I’ll like the next president for 2020……...

    I can't wait to hear what your next President will say about that. I suspect it'll be something like...


    "...it's a TOTAL DISASTER...BELIEVE ME..."

    You think Trumpty Dumpty is going to beat those fine demoncrats?

    He certainly wasn't my first choice. Clinton and Sanders would never be an option, though. I hope he surrounds himself with Repooplicans who aren't "establishment".

    But TRUTHFULLY, he'll take care of it. :)

    Shouldn't happen, I put myself in debt to pay workers wages because of "late" government payments, really boils my kettle.

    A 'boiling kettle' sounds painful. :(

    Same thing in Aussie Bob,,my boy is in border control,and he spends most of his life out at sea,,he has learnt to allow for late wages,,he gets payed fairly well,so i guess he can afford to make allowances,,his part of the military gives him a small amount of control of his personal life,,>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

    ....nothing on the news so far.

    ....can't believe it hasn't made national news.
    Bob/PKB

    I didn't say the whole armed forces or even one branch. They should always pay the service men and women on time. All of them

    They're the same the world over, they have there own snouts in the trough first.
