Oh...and I do agree with Kicker.....I read that the Washington folks still get paid even if we get our checks on hold.

Yeah, and so does their ancillary staff with their big expense accounts.
I heard on the news last night about some firearms thing. I haven't fully checked it out but last night I thought of how much of our tax dollars goes to really dumb programs such as this one. Why are we paying to give guns to smugglers just to track them in both Mexico and the US? That's just crazy. And now we have debt issues? It's programs like these that need to be thought out and cut. How much would we save if we cut some of these programs as opposed to starving out the military, veteran's, elderly and the ill/disabled.
