[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The largest payroll not getting paid during a shutdown is military pay.  Nobody cares if the bureaucrats starve but military families are stuck in the military, they can't quit and get a different job. [/quote]

This is the first shutdown that I can think of where the military is not funded.

2013 we were not funded. Navy Federal paid us on time if you had a direct deposit set up. I think the shut down only lasted through one paycheck.
It's a real problem for the younger enlisted soldiers/Marines/etc. They make very little money and if they have a family and don't live on base they will not last long with a paycheck. [/quote]

During the 6 week shutdown in 2019, our mortgage holder and the utilities companies gave us extensions.  Navy Federal offered interest-free payday loans but we didn't take them up on it, although we could have.  We lived paycheck-to-paycheck and 2019 wasn't fun but it was doable.  [/quote]
