Grieving families of fallen U.S. service members are expressing outrage over a lapse in government benefits designed to help them pay for funeral costs or travel to meet the flag-draped coffins of their loved ones.

“The government is hurting the wrong people," said Shannon Collins, who lost her son, Marine Lance Corporal Jeremiah M. Collins Jr., over the weekend in Afghanistan. “Families shouldn’t have to worry about how they’re going to bury their child," she told NBC News. "Families shouldn’t have to worry about how they're going to feed their family if they don’t go to work this week.”

Seventeen U.S. service members have died this month, but as a result of the government shutdown, none of their families have received the $100,000 normally sent within three days of the ultimate sacrifice, also known as the “death gratuity.”

Wow, Carl. That's cold as hell on the Teapublican's part, not that they'll ever own it.

The article makes the point the Federal Government cannot pick and choose what debts to pay.


Sorry about the last part of my post title....perhaps the people who think America is like Greece are really TRYING to make America like Greece by voting for these guys.

The Republican Party Of Eisenhower,Nixon,Reagan and both Bush's would never have let this happen. I do not what kind of American John Boehner thinks he is. I am ashamed that he is from Ohio.



Chris Christie has been quiet. I think it is time for him to step up and knock some heads together. On the other hand maybe the "Republican Party" has given up on the Presidency. That is why they are trying to pull this nonsense in the first place perhaps.
