Patriotic billionaire gives $130 Million to keep troops paid in Schumer shutdown | Eastern NC Now

The Schumer shutdown left our military unpaid, with difficult situations for military families.  Republicans offered a limited bill to pay the troops but Senate Democrats refused to go along, and put up a filibuster.  Now a patriotic billionaire, who tried to remain anonymous, has stepped in and given a check for $130 Million to cover military payrolls during the Schumer shutdown.

The New York Times however was able to track the mystery donor down and publish his identity.  He is 83-year old Timothy Mellon, who lives in Wyoming and is the grandson of prominent banker and former US Treasury Secretary Andrew Mellon.

Americans should take their hats off to Mellon for his generosity in helping protect our military families from the hardships imposed by the Democrats in the Schumer shutdown.

Now with Food Stamp (SNAP) money about to run out at the end of the month, will George Soros or one of his ilk step forward to cover their expenses?  Doubtful.
