9. There is enough existing funding to last a while.....

There was several million unspent from last year, and several million yet to be spent from existing allocations from this year.

It should last several months at least, possibly till next November with some clever book keeping.

Most of it was going to be spent right here at home. The companies that would have received new contracts for things like missiles, shells, bullets, guns, medical supplies, armor, etc, will not be happy those contracts get pushed out.

I'm sure house Republicans will find pac money going dry. Even from sources that aren't directly impacted, but that don't like what they are doing.

Don't mess with the company. They take care of business in ways you can't even imagine.
