Despite the Schumer Shutdown, Trump to Ensure our Military Gets Paid
Thanks for nothing, Chuckie…
Ever since the days of Jimmy Carter, government shutdowns have become a yearly thing. As reliable as Christmas and the 4th of July, at least this annual event usually lasts no more than a few days.
Unfortunately, we’re now working on Week 3 of the Great Chuckie Shutdown of 2025.
Even though US Senators will still get paid, those in the armed forces won’t see a paycheck on Oct. 15, 2025.
Nonetheless, Navy Federal Credit Union is leading the way with 0% short term loans for our troops. Not only that, but the Defense Credit Union Council has published numerous other credit unions across the nation that are offering either zero or low-interest loans to help our servicemen get their bills paid during this Democrat-caused, fake crisis.
Sept. 28, 2022. The Biden solution to cash-strapped troops.
Interestingly enough, Pres. Trump is jumping through hoops to ensure that those in the military won’t have to go through the hassle of applying for 0% interest loans in the first place.
But as only Trump can do, he managed to get the Democrats to come out and publicly denounce the troops getting paid.
President Trump directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Saturday to pay service members by utilizing previously appropriated funds during the ongoing government shutdown, seeking to sidestep gridlock in Congress.
Some Democrats… say the move is likely illegal.
A Defense official said Saturday that the department identified “approximately $8 billion of unobligated research development testing and evaluation funds (RDTE) from the prior fiscal year that will be used to issue mid-month paychecks to service members” if the government is not reopened by Oct. 15.
Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) was asked Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” whether the administration’s plan was legal.
Connecticut Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro… seriously.
“Well, probably not. Again, we just had a little conversation about the White House’s understanding of United States law, which is pretty tentative to say the best,” he said.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro (Conn.), the top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, said Friday the administration was “violating the law left and right” in how it decides to spend and not spend congressionally allocated funds.
“There’s no inherent power that the president has, and certainly no inherent power that [Office of Management and Budget Director] Russ Vought has to move money around that’s been appropriated by … House, Senate, Democrats and Republicans, that’s the law of the land,” DeLauro said Friday on a call with reporters.
Please remember that both Himes and DeLauro don’t have to worry about having enough money to pay their bills come tomorrow.
After a bit of digging, I found the net worth of both Himes and DeLauro, as noted by Quiver Quantitative;
Thanks for nothing, Chuckie…
