Source: GOP will approve 5- or 6- day measure to avert shutdown

I think it is a shame that our government can bail out everyone but ourselves. Maybe if we hadn't bailed out so many others then payment to our men and women fighting for us would not have to worry about their paydays.And O'boma can give Brazil $1B to promote THEIR oil business...and that is just 1/1000 of the money our government gives to non-Americans .... and to certain priviledged citizens. For ex., did you know families of members of Congress are excused from paying back student loans? I say pay our military and make Members of Congress wait to be paid. Then maybe they may figure out a solution more quickly.
