The Republicans have finally gotten their way. Yes sir, if a decision about the debt limit isn’t reached by Aug. 2, members of the armed services won’t get paid, and neither will recipients of Social Security.

But, do Republican elected officials care? I don’t think so.

The Republicans only care about the wealthiest Americans and the large corporations.

So, thank the Greedy Old Party (the Republican Party) for those in the military, giving their lives, or those people on Social Security who won’t receive their sole source of income in August.
