After several days of threats of federal furloughs and disruption of military pay, Congress avoided another government shutdown Monday night by agreeing to a six-week temporary budget plan.
The move delays the next budget showdown until November but doesn’t calm the frustration of veterans who have seen their benefits and military programs held hostage by partisan squabbles three times in the last six months. http://www.stripes.com/news/military-community-exasperated-at-prospect-of-prolonged-shutdown-threats-1.156256
