"And I want to assure the seniors and the disabled that you need have no fear, you will be receiving your checks'.

HE DID NOT SAY THIS.

I know we are PROBABLY going to get our checks.

But it would have been nice to hear him say the words.

And the fact that he didn't think it was necessary , WELL, THAT IS WHAT BOTHERS ME ABOUT THE WHOLE THING.

We are not necessary??
