$$ or lack there off

So i hear that the government ie congress cannot agree on a budget. Due to their lack of ability to come to an agreement they are halting all nonessential goverment. This so happens to include the military. Soo i will not be receiving pay until they can pull their heads out of their asses and come to an agreement.

But did you know that congressmembers and their aides will recieve pay. Lets look at the payscale here.

The current salary for rank-and-file members of the House and Senate is $168,000 per year. The Leaders get $186,600, the Speaker of the House gets $215,700.

Here is the paychart for the military for every rank in every branch.

From this chart you would need to be an O9, thats a 3 star general with over 20 years of service obviously to make the equivalent of someone in congress. At the federal level there are 100 senators and 435 representatives. An O10, a 4 star General with over THIRTY years in the military makes $206112 a year, That is still less the Speaker of the House. These are men like Gen McChrystal, one of the joint cheifs of staff to the president and Commanded the war effort in Afghanistan.

A member of congress in his first year of his first term makes 168 thousand dollars a year.
A member of the military in his first year of his first enlistment makes 17k a year.
An officer of the military in his first year of his first commission makes 33k a year.

You see the problem here? What these men and women do to the country by letting it shut down, doesn't affect them. They dont have to worry about their paychecks or feeding their wives or children.

This is appauling and I am ashamed to be apart of our military that fights for their freedom to screw us over.
