A government shutdown: News people lie to us when they say people like Fed employees, TSA, FAA, etc. will have to work without pay. Truth: they will work for "deferred" pay. No one ever lost a dime during these budget shutdowns. As a service, most credit unions and banks will give short ter loans if anyone really need it
Moderator's Note: The 1.3 million members of the military will have to wait to get paid; waiting for paychecks is painful for many families.
