The House Appropriations Committee is drafting legislation that will allow the government to pay death benefits to families of troops killed in action during the government shutdown.

The public was outraged, and rightfully so, when five servicemembers were killed in Afghanistan over the weekend, but the families were not paid!

Troops aren’t getting paid during the shutdown and grieving families of the dead are not getting paid benefits!

Barack Obama...
