The nation’s third shutdown in 12 years is once again raising anxiety levels among service members and their families because those in uniform are working without pay. While they would receive back pay once the impasse ends, many military families live paycheck to paycheck.
During previous shutdowns, Congress passed legislation to ensure that troops kept earning their salaries, but time is running out before they miss their first paycheck in less than a week.
Neo-liberals bear their part of the blame as well.
We can’t criticize trump without people rightly saying that liberals don’t care about workers, either.
They’d rather have fascism than socialism, so that’s what we all get.
