re: #306 freetoken

So, we’re less than 4 weeks away from the GOP House essentially closing down the government (because of no authorization to spend/borrow.)

Yes, I expect the Senate to balk at whatever bill the GOP House does eventually pass, if it even passes one.

Hopefully any retirees out there have made alternative plans, if they live check-to-check, etc.

I seem to remember the last time this stunt was pulled that the Fed told the banks to accept the automatic payments from the Treasury anyway (and the Fed would make it work.) But my memory could be wrong here.

Anyway, the days are counting down.

The countdown is even faster. Congress is out of session much of the time between now and the 4th. They basically have a week to get it together. A lot of retirees are not in good shape.
