Steve,

You got the right information for what they have.
Keep in mind that this depends on how much they want to fear people.
They could state this information a completely different way.
I consider them liars (and sinners) because they find a partial truth and twist it in order to make themselves important and to make other people worried.

Funding for these programs have lots of ways to get worked out.
For example, if the economy picks up, we will have enough funding.
We can also find the funding in other ways like raising small taxes on everyone who is working.
In other words, there are lots of ways that Congress and the President can work on this.

Hey man, I feel you. I have gotten pangs to the gut over all that is going on with the govt. From what I gather; disability and social security will not be affected. Mai always has great news info and reminds me it is a business.

As for the long haul with benefits....I gotta stay in today. My needs are be no met today, and I am grateful for that. Have you ever watched Doomsday Preppers? It is about families/people preparing for solar flares, financial collapse of the govt and the chaos that will ensue. I think about that stuff all the time but really, if things get that bad, I am not going to be sitting around trying to be the last man standing. What I am saying....lots of hype out there. Hype isn't good for me. So I sit looking at magazines in the quiet. I watch HGTV House hunters but I find that I have pretty much seen all the older episodes.

I didn't cancel cable yet but I am going to. They are giving out free HBO for three mos. I don't watch HBO. I was a ploy to keep me as a customer because I inquired about removing my cable. Like you, I don't need the news...

All we have is today, embrace it as if it were the last. God will take care of us tomorrow as he has today. Take care of you and talk to us.

i am so sorry....i am listening to the news too much and am convinced they will work things out and you won't have to worry about disability. let your faith in God help you and know that He is in control.

Thank you Mari. That is sound,rational,and comforting information. Thank you for the comfort. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Hey TBI/PTSD. If I had the money I would probably have a bunker made for me. I have a few things to help me in case of a nuclear power plant event. There is a nuclear power plant built on a old fault line in the next county over from me. The earthquake's epicenter is in that county.
I have NBC masks with up to date filter canisters. I also have a few NBC old army suits that I could put on,and then drive West from those reactors. I have a geiger counter,and other things that would be useful. I could at least have enough time to pray. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Thank you Bobbi. I've been reading through the Psalms,and underlining the verses that help me. I've been praying. BF:hug::hug::hug:
