Dear Ma_Republican:
My wife Karen and I will be at your doorstep just as soon as we sell our home that we can't pay the mortgage on. My one income isn't enough to support our whole family and the 2600/mo mortgage and car payments plus health insurance for our disabled son. (which, by the way, is equal to some mortgages)
If the government stays shut down for "months and months and months" as you dream of, my wife's VA disability pension and compensation will cease, and we will be foreclosed on.
I hope your house is handicap accessible.
Oh, by the way, she might be having a few disabled veteran friends over too, and they might have questions for you, too.
Hope you don't mind lots of questions!
