A government shutdown?

We need a budget extension for government to continue to operate. March 4th is the deadline. I guess most of us are more worried than congress is because they took a break.

If there is a shutdown, most government activities will stop. I heard the President on NPR the other night, saying that social security checks won't go out, that would be a travesty. He also said veteran checks won't be sent. I'm not sure what was meant with that one. I am a veteran and I don't get a check. Maybe I need to call someone. I think maybe the President meant checks to disabled vets.

Again I don't think this is a huge deal since Congress is in recess this week. They would know better than the rest of us what is at stake.
