Our 600 billion dollar military can't make payroll? Bull.

I don't buy it. And if our military does not have reserves for a few months payroll then it is the republicans fault for failure to pass a budget instead of constant continuing resolutions. Give them their yearly budget and stop playing games with our defense system. Use to be salary and allotments were were sent out once a month, now it may be twice a month, so where is the urgent need for our troops. Republicans act like every day is pay day. Republican leadership is the real shit house. Pass a fucking budget.

Time for democrats to point this out. No more continuing resolutions. Do a budget with your complete control or show us that they truly can not govern or that they have no plan of ever governing only to divide.
