[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 582427, member: 135"] Social Security checks will continue. From what I understand, long term unemployment probably will not. Things like Headstart are on the chopping block. It was just on the news tonight that here, Meals on Wheels is likely not to continue. A lot of the cuts we will notice slowly. Different states will be affected differently, depending on how much they are relying on federal dollars. Medicaid varies from state to state. The postal "service" is separate - they have their own problems but this should not affect them. Fire departments, public schools, and child care subsidies are funded locally or by the state but they do include some federal dollars, which are set to be cut. I was told that those who serve in the military will be paid but there may people who are force to "retire" or not reup. Too bad we aren't all millionaires; their stuff is secure. Gotta shut up before I say too much. [/QUOTE]
