They are saying 'The House has done what it was supposed to do , now it's up to the Senate"

But if everybody knows it's dead on arrival at the Senate

WHAT'S THE USE??

Someone explain this to me please?

Thanks much

IF things were functioning as designed, then when the Senate voted it down they would also come up with a real compromise bill which they would send back to the House.

IF things weren't dysfunctional, then this bill (really a compromise) would be considered & probably changed a little bit by the House, then sent back to the Senate. Most likely reasonable people would look at it & consider the whole situation & pass it and....
this would all be over.

Okay I have to tell you what my son who is 29 just said.

He thinks we should ask Apple to bail the government out.

Because they have lots of money.

I want to ask him, if he thinks he should go out and ask Apple for
a job also. He has been unemployed for about a month now.

2 son's and a husband unemployed, wish Apple would employ them.

Thought I would give everyone a good update in my opinion.

Seems Social Security Office's are planning to pay.

Got a letter today, from them as Derrick's Rep Payee.

They are letting me know, I already knew they planned this.

That they are taking 67.00 away from his check till the
overpayment, they mistakenly made has been taken care of.

I think this is good news in light of the fact that we thought
checks might not continue soon.

This starts in September.

OOOOHHHH , Alan got a letter from SS yesterday indicating that they OVERPAID him in 2006 in the amount of $139.00 and will be deducting $3.00 from his check every month until the amount is paid.

So everybody else who gets a letter, THAT'S HOW THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT. Take money out of people's check each month. Think about doing this to Twenty million people.

Anyone else get this letter?

OMG!!

I'm not worried about the credit rating going up for myself. If my CC rates go up- I will just cancel the card(s). Its the CC companies loss,not mine.
I just wish the government would quit playing games and keeping everyone in the dark. They know how much money will be in the till on Wednesday and they know who will get paid and who won't get paid. If they don't,they don't have a clue what they're doing.

Oh, I got the information wrong on Alan's letter from SS Administration. They are going to take out the WHOLE amount in October ($139.00) and then he'll go back to getting what he was originally getting and that will return in November.

And from what I have read on the internet, they are doing this to many people.

that's one way to collect revenues.

This is just another Reality TV show (Remember when they started? During the writers' strike? Then stayed forever because they're so cheap to produce.)

All US gov shows end up with the same subtitle, stolen from Shakespeare: Much Ado about Nothing.

So they're gonna "compromise" by cutting lots of government programs but not increasing income thru tax increases. Make of that what you will.

Of course that was what the Republican plan offered weeks ago. So where's the "compromise"????

Why have we been put thru this????????

Why do we let ourselves be?

Ah, so the Senate and the House are playing PING PONG with our lives and our future.

Well, that stinks, now doesn't it??
