Bill Assures Military Personnel Get Paid

A bill introduced in the House would ensure military personnel get pay and benefits in case there's no deal on raising the federal debt limit. It calls for emergency appropriations if the government must curtail spending. GovExec reports, the bill was offered by Reps. Steve King (R-Iowa), Louie Gohmert (R-Tex.) and Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.). The bill is dubbed the Payment Reliability for our Obligations to Military and Investors to Secure Essential Stability act, or PROMISES.
