Many of the federal employees work without pay during the extended shutdown, however, the 533 present members of the Congress will still receive their paychecks. Adjustments of Remuneration or Compensation of any member of the Congress are extremely prohibited in the 27th Amendment to the Constitution. The proposed amendment was not approved until 1992 when the group of politicians and numbers of states in America campaigned and promoted it. Although the amendment forbids the Congress to receive increase or decrease on its pay, it also does not allow the members of the Congress to be stranded without pay. The issue? Congress will be benefited in any manner. Is Congress ought to get paid?

Do you know how it feels to loose a mother or a father? This video is a tribute to those unlucky children which had their parents taken away by the atrocities of war. God Bless.

The federal government shutdown gives an adverse and negative result to some families whose loved ones are killed for the service of the nation. They will not receive the assistance and aid from the government to cover the cost of funeral and other expenses entitled to them by the death of their beloved. The denial of support brings more pain and suffering to the family. Over the weekend, five U.S. service members were slayed in Afghanistan and their families were informed that they will not receive the $100,000.00 for burial expenses and death gratuity. Generally this benefit is received within 36 hours from the time of death. The money is used to help the surviving family needs until they recuperate. The amount is also used to augment the budget of flying to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to view the remains of their loved ones in flag-draped caskets. According to Gayle Tzemach Lemmon of the Council on Foreign Relations, the government in Washington is not in session, however, we are still requiring people to go to war for us. And if something happens, the rest of the families are left hanging. What are your thoughts?

But on this night, James Taylor opened his vocal chords and blurted out "America the Beautiful". Though he is not the first or last celebrity to err in this platform, his excuse was well taken as he was scheduled to sing there later that night during the seventh inning stretch.
