So, as a veteran and a student I am fortunate enough to have access to federal school benefits to help me make my way through college. However, with the Gov't shutdown, all school benefits are on hold until the shutdown is over. With that as well as all national guard service being canceled for the same reason I have absolutely no income since my internship is unpaid. YAY Gov't! Thanks for acting like 6 year old girls while you make triple what most people make to sit on each others thumbs and see who can spin the longest. Thank god I have lots of savings from my last deployment.
