  Anyone know what's happened, historically speaking, when the soldiers don't get their pay?

    Regime change. Possibly with some looting.

  Public school parents can't even make donations that contribute to teacher salaries. So completely unacceptable.

  Saw a factoid that military payroll is $7.2 billion per week (~$375 billion per year) so 130 mil could pay approx 0.5%, or 1 out of 200 staff on average, for 1 month. So who are the lucky beneficiaries? The Presidents personal guard?
