Martial law by the 10th. They will not let it happen. [/quote] Just saw a story on FOX, all of the "good stuff" will continue (food stamps, Welfare, Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid, etc.) Can't let the peons get all riled up! However, I heard about 20 minutes ago that, while they will still pay the active duty military, veterans and their services may not be paid. Seems to me that (logically) the "veterans" would not be the best group to anger! [/quote] Heard a caller on one of the talk radio shows this morning say, "Once we have shut down the gov't, and only have ESSENTIAL workers still at it - [b]we should fire the rest[/b]!" Makes sense to me. If we can get by without 'em during a shut down, get by without 'em the rest of the time, too! [/quote]
Original Message
As of right now they don't have any idea how to fund it if the government shuts down. Will probably know more tomorrow or Monday and will update further.
Sorry to be cryptic but I can't say anything more at the moment, but Iwork for an agency that handles ebt cards.
