Does anyone have the email addy for the White House?

This is so sad. I had a good laugh when POTUS was on TV (last week?) and explained his daughters can get their homework done the day before it is due, and they are 11 and 13. EXACTLY!

What is it about politics, that you have to do all nighters?

That's the phone number for the comments for the White House. It's open from 9-5 Eastern time. Of course, when I called it was busy continually. Then it was closed. I will try again tomorrow. After all, the recording told me the President LOVES hearing our comments. I just bet he does!

It's a threat to do so, not a fait accompli, and it's political gamesmanship at its worst.

Call your representative, the White House has little constitutional say when it comes to spending. The President can threaten and cajole all he wants, but it's the House in control on this issue, not him.

Yep, they will be hearing from me too.

I'm totally amazed. I had no idea this was legal. Don't think it is in Canada, no matter what disruption we have, the Social Security cheques are always delivered from what I hear. Even people on disability or welfare get their cheques, during the last postal strike the cheques were dropped off at a government building and people could go pick them up.

The issue is that if there's no money in the treasury to back the check, it's worthless. Unless the children in Congress (on both sides) learn to play nice-nice with each other it could definitely become an issue.
