If they don't send my disability check on time, I'm sending the White house a bill for 50% interest for each day it's late. I'm sure they won't pay it but each day it's late is a day I'll be without food or the ability to pay my bills which will cause me to pay interest.

I just can't believe this is such a mess. God help us everyone!!!

MOFF - you need to send your bill to the House of Representatives. Or better yet - directly to the Tea Partiers. The ones who think, instead of Medicare - you should be given a voucher to shop for your medical insurance. Make those choices such - capitated or not? As my 87 year old mother says - on a good day she can shop for groceries - how can she be expected to understand and make all the decisions in selecting insurance? I am sure there are scam artist - in addition to the Tea Partiers - just waiting for that! Think of how they can fleece the elderly!

I was one of those who had my taxes reduced by the Bush Cuts. I remember looking at my paycheck and thinking - this will not make one iota of difference in my life. We already had two cars, a motorcycle, a house, two cats and lots of toys. What were we to buy to "create jobs"? (And to save time for the flying monkeys - no I did not give it back. That is more difficult than you think.)

Thankfully we saved it - knowing that those "raining days" would not be far behind such ridiculous fiscal actions as reducing revenue and increasing expenses.
