Re: Re: Re: They don't care
There has nor is there now any prior debt. There are no creditors involved. All of my parents' financial matters were cleared up and finalized years ago. I even went back and checked and there is nothing. The lady at the local D.S.S. office said it was a federal error of some kind but that my Mom was not the only one. She stated she had never seen as many of this particular case ever up until the month of October. I received the same response from the assisted living center.

Re: Re: They don't care

I have read your blog again, RedStatesMan, and it would be useful if you were to provide details regarding those checks -- like whose gov't withheld the funds -- feds or state --  and for what reason --  letters are sent and reasons given in such cases -- what does the letter say?

this does seem odd.  Is there a prior debt?  Did some creditor enact withholding against the check?  There are all sorts of reasons for withhold besides feds arbitrarily doing so.

Also, the Federal Budget takes effect on Oct. 1; and your parents' check should not be affected then by budget changes -- the budget that affects that was passed by the previous Congress and signed by President Bush.

Re: Re: They don't care
medicaid is state administrated -- funds come from the state -- payments come from the state -- the state controls medicaid mainly -- DC has nothing to do with it.

Re: They don't care
If you would stop the spin and reference what my blog was about then you would see that there had not ever been a problem like this in the 25 year existence of my Mom's and Dad's assisted living center. There had never been an instance in all of those years where a resident did not receive their monthly check. This occurred this month, October 2009. Who's in the White House now? Which party is in complete control in the start of North Carolina now?  democrats, democrats and more democrats. Bush is gone and it is time for you realize that fact.

Re: They don't care
I don't think it's quite fair to say "all the conservaties....".; it's easy to be essentially correct; and also a bit factually incorrect at the same time.  Bush is gone, Obama stands alone.  It's his ballgame to lose.  joab

They don't care
Right now all the conservative and mindlessly blaming Obama for anything and everything.  It does not matter at all that there are things he has no power over and no connection to.  They have to do all they can to make him look bad here and now, becasue they knwo that when given a year or two more, he will be looking really good as things get better and he is able to fix the problems Bush created.
