Congress always threatens to not pay the members of the Armed services when they can't balance the budget. The elected members of Congress are supposed to represent the people who elected them. If they continue to forget how much the Soldiers, Airmen, Marines, and Sailors need what little pay they receive for the sacrifices and dangers they face on a daily basis. In April of 2011, Military members and their families were threatened with not being paid, and in some cases, it happened. Now here we are two and a half years later, facing the same issue. If the members of Congress were on the same pay scale and recieved the same benefits, it would help our Brothers and Sisters in Arms.
