Many military spouses say they won't be able to pay bills??
Military mom Lena Bourrillion says her husband was just notified yesterday by a supervisor that he may not be receiving his next paycheck.
"You should start relying on old money, not new money, his first sergeant told them," Bourrillion said. "I thought that was the real kicker."
"Living a military life it doesn't really give you the option to put away money," agrees Amy Tersigni, whose husband is currently serving in Iraq. "You don't get to put reserve because you live paycheck to paycheck. You pay your rent, you pay your bills, you feed your kids and that's it. You don't have extra," she said.
All troops and certain civilian workers would not be paid during a shutdown, but would still be required to work because of national security operations. Many military families say they weren't even aware that this was a possibility.
"Military jobs are stable," said Erin Disseler, whose husband is a veteran and now works for the U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners. "You don't think about furlough in government. I didn't even know it was possible."
"Right now it's 6:00 a.m., I have been awake since midnight," said O'Donnell. "I've been wondering how I'm going to feed the four little people that are asleep right now, not aware of how soon their whole lives could be ruined. My husband is deployed. The last thing he needs is to be wondering how his family is going to put food on the table."
"We sacrifice enough already," said Erica Roach, whose husband serves in the Navy. She says that if his paycheck is delayed, she'll have to choose between paying the bills and putting food on the table for her two children.
"I am not only speaking my voice for my family, but military families as a whole," she said. "Our loved ones are out there facing war and death. They don't need to be worrying about if their family is starving at home."
