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?

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..."

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".

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,,>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..
