Obama bails out on Indy Visit

I wonder why none of this ever came up with other shutdowns in the past.

How a shutdown would affect troops, families - Marine Corps News | News from Afghanistan & Iraq - Marine Corps Times

Pay

If the government shuts down, the Defense Department will have no funds to pay service members or civilian employees for the days during which the government is shut down.
The first payday that could be affected is April 15. So military and civilian personnel will receive one week of pay on that date for their work during the first week of April, but not for the second week, if the shutdown lasts beyond that payday.
All service members and civilian employees who are required to work without pay would have any delayed pay made up in full when the shutdown ends.
Military retirees are not paid from annually appropriated funds, so their benefits should continue without interruption.

We averted a govt shutdown and a road shutdown at the same time! Always sucks getting around Indy when a politician comes to town.

He might be coming back after his vacation. They were upset at all the money spent on setting up for him and he blew them off.

I'll have to check and see if the welding seals are still in place ........ it is also funny to have something that looks like the pin of the day on you....

As far as I'm concerned Washington was where he needed to be before everyone in Congress killed each other.
