Government shutdown set to disrupt military, VA services

If a lapse in federal funding forces a government shutdown, next week will begin with tens of thousands of civilian defense workers being furloughed and non-essential military services closing down, causing widespread problems for troops and their families.
A shutdown would officially start at midnight on Saturday, but many of the effects won’t be felt until the start of the work week on Monday morning. While core military missions will continue unchanged, many travel plans, spouse support services and base maintenance tasks will be pushed aside until the budget issues are resolved.

Separate the bills geniuses. One at a time so the public can see the extortion taking place.

Navy Federal as already announced that the will give advances to their members that have Military Direct Deposit during the shutdown. USAA is offering no interest short term loans to all it's members.
