Even in the military, you have to live according to your means. We have been military family for over 10 years and the only financial problems we've had are like anyone else's. It does seem like this story is about criticizing Bush more so than helping the families in need.

I was under the impression deployed soldiers were actually paid on a higher scale (combat pay). Is this correct? If so, it doesn't seem they would be making ends meet if their spouse was home either.

Regardless, whatever we're paying them isn't enough. How about throwing those abusers of the welfare system off the public chuckwagon and giving these guys (and gals) a raise? ;)
