How about grounding AF-1. That should cover all veterans expenses.

For the VA, for the military and other truly essential services, the House should craft a CR that funds each of those agencies individually... then let the pervs in the Senate vote it down.

Are the King and Queen planning another $100 million vacation while our veterans and their widows go without money to live on?

4. If shutdown does run longer, those that can should adopt a vet and help ‘see them through’ until we get things straightened out.
(My nephew (10 yrs. Marines) just finally got his disability processed and the first checks were to begin to arrive. Moved into their own place about 2 weeks ago with the wife and kids. Time to assure them we won’t let them fall)

I believe I read that VA Disability payments will be paid. I think the article is about new claims being slowed down.

That’s not what the articles says. It says they won’t be making disability payments after 30 days.

I know we’ll be homeless soon if they stop making payments.

Cut off congressional pensions first.

Nothing this administration does really surprises me, but I thought that I read a different article that said present VA Disability payments would continue to be made. The article talks about the claim processing people. I think that means new claims might have a problem. As if a two year wait isn’t bad enough for them.

"If a government shutdown continues through the end of October, the Veterans Affairs Department said it will have to cut off disability and education benefits payments, which could cause financial devastation to veterans, according to the Veterans of Foreign Wars."
