The NEA is Constitutionally mandated just as the military is.

I am a military wife and obviously am very worried about this government shut down and how it is going to affect my family. I decided to check our LES online today just to see if it showed any difference in our pay. Much to my surprise according to DFAS myPay we will only be receiving half of our pay! I am not sure what to think about this situation since the official shut down is not supposed to happen until 12am. It seems to me like this was predetermined.

I see, so your solution is, no compromise, no cutting defense, no cutting spending to oil companies, no cutting spending to farmers to NOT grow corn. Just cut from the poorest and weakest in the nation. Don't raise taxes on the wealthiest people who befitted the most from the collapse of the economy.
Nice, just screw We the People eh? Let Corporate America rule? Let the Military Industrial Complex suckle off of the taxpayer teat forever?
How can these people claim they are for the American taxpayer with such backwards thinking like this?

Government shutdown: Planned Parenthood owns Democrats
Planned Parenthood itself has clearly become desperate. one spokesman for the abortion provider decried, “If we are defunded, America’s emergency rooms will be overrun” — this from an organization that provides only one “emergency” medical service, abortion.
The same politicians that have argued that we should put social issues behind us are staking the entire federal budget on abortion funding. this issue is not even about abortion “rights” — it’s about how federal taxpayer dollars will be spent.
Yesterday, I spoke with Representative Mike Pence (R-IN), who told our radio audience that “liberals in the Senate are ready to shut down the federal government rather than end the practice of borrowing money from China to fund abortion providers here at home.”www.100wizard.com...
