Would have thought those “plan” would be written in stone by now Yup. I vaguely recall the military not getting paid, and the park services getting shut down several years ago. And then several years before that... From 2019: [link to www.npca.org (secure)] I'm guessing for some government groups, whoever handles it still has the binder with the plans buried in papers on their desk. |

It may sound counterintuitive but we want the republicans to fold on this one because it will make more people see the republicans aren't their fucking friends. roguetechie |

In the end, they will raise the debt limit and Mitch and company will tell their constituents how they fought, but they had to do it. Meanwhile, another deposit will be made into their offshore retirement accounts. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69610345 United States 09/23/2021 03:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am supposed to go to Yellowstone on Oct 2nd. They better not shutdown National Parks again. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77334359 Not sure how we got to the point where government can shut down large chunks of planet. If they really shut down, there should be no one there to enforce it being shut down but I am guessing they will have plenty of goons to keep people out. Always a loophole in daddy government's "rules". |

See Janet Yellen's letter here, dated Sept. 8th, 2021 [link to home.treasury.gov (secure)] Quote from letter: "After the debt limit was reinstated on August 1, Treasury began employing certain extraordinary measures to continue to finance the government on a temporary basis. These measures, which are authorized by law and have been used in previous debt limit impasses, include a suspension of certain investments in the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund, the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund, and the Government Securities Investment Fund of the Federal Employees' Retirement System Thrift Savings Plan. Once all available measures and cash on hand are fully exhausted, the United States of America would be unable to meet its obligations for the first time in our history." [...] "Given this uncertainty, the Treasury Department is not able to provide a specific estimate of how long the extraordinary measures will last. However, based on our best and most recent information, the most likely outcome is that cash and extraordinary measures will be exhausted during the month of October." |
