I sent her a link I found (http://www.foxbusiness.com/government/2013/09/19/what-happens-if-government-shuts-down/) where they explain what actually happens if the govt shuts down. In the article, it explains:

Social Security and Medicare payments will still go out, but experts say a shutdown could bring delays.

Both programs are considered mandatory funding, which means they were written to be funded indefinitely and there’s no annual appropriation.

AND

“The president will do what he can to make it seem like the public is going to be inconvenienced with a shutdown,” says von Spakovsky. “National parks will close and the places people like to visit in Washington, D.C., will be unavailable. But planes will still fly, Medicaid and Social Security checks will still go out…the average person might not even notice a shutdown.”

She thanked me for the info. Apparently she only views what’s on MSN....and does NOT do any research. Typical democrat.
