Now about a government shut down that this fake GOP sponsors annually.............. reckless indeed

[merrill]

Congress has a Sept. 30 deadline before federal agency budgets expire, and Republican leaders are working to pass legislation to pay existing bills and avoid a shutdown.

Should the worst come to pass, here's how a government shutdown would affect your finances.

Federal programs and Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid

Social Security checks and electronic payments would still be delivered even if the government shuts down.


Medicare and Medicaid programs are also protected from federal funding shortfalls.


We’ll repeat that for those in the back: Retirees will still get their monthly Social Security checks, and healthcare benefits will not be disrupted.

SNAP (Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program) and WIC (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children) benefits can continue if the funding shutdown is not for an extended time.

Operating on a tight budget, WIC may be the most vulnerable.

So you are in favor of increased spending to increase debt. No fiscal responsibility whatever. Then we can default on our debt when we are unable to make our debt payments.
We already lost our high standard under a democrat president. But hey rail against the republicans.

Huh, then the Senate dems better get with the program when it gets to them, a clean CR passed the House.




The House of Representatives has just passed a continuing resolution (CR) that prevents a government shutdown for seven weeks and now heads to the Senate. Members of Congress have taken to social media to express their thoughts.

The resolution passed with 217 votes in favor and 212 opposed along strict party lines, although Representatives Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Victoria Spartz (R-IN) voted against, while Representative Jared Golden (D-CO) voted in favor.

Our problems were created in a very bi-partisan manner.

So true that is why I do not trust anyone in either party. I know too much about what the government has done in the past to ever trust them. But to rail against one without realizing that both are at fault needs to be called out.

You forgot that those employes of the federal government that get furloughed will when they return to work, get all back pay from the shutdown.

The taxpayer will be on the hook for their salary at any rate.

We've gotten lots of practice with that this year.

Republicans control the House, Senate, SCOTUS, and Presidency. Their circus. Their monkeys.

Standing for what is right is lost on you, we get it. Sometimes doing what is right is hard, and you must do it anyway, not that you would know anything about that, you support infanticide

More left wing scare tactics in the never ending political blame game. You almost have to laugh that democrats and their minions in the the left wing media managed to blame House Speaker Gingrich when Clinton shut down the government. Now they want to blame Trump when democrats are complicit in a shutdown if it happens. Basic services like medicare and social security aren't affected in a government shutdown.
