  • This is how it’s always worked.

    If members of congress were not paid, the richer members could use a shutdown to coerce the poorer members, knowing that they have enough saving to survive the payment stop longer than poorer members. In a government where shutdowns are possible, continuing to pay representatives is necessary.

    In a proper country, a shutdown would result in an immediate recall and disbarment of every elected official. But we don’t live in a proper country.

    Continuing to pay those responsible for the shutdown is a bad thing. Punishing every other government worker for someone else’s ineptitude is bad. But on balance not paying congress would probably be just a bit worse.





  • No. Its fine to have mismatched data between state and federal. The feds trust their own databases unless you provide them contradictory information.

    At least from my reading about my state its not an issue. However it is an issue if federal records don’t match other federal records. Don’t change the gender on your passport without changing it with social security, but also you can’t they’re refusing changes. If the feds get contradictory information it will flag their databases and send you a notice. You’ll need a lawyer if that happens.

    Research it yourself, your state may vary, but I have not yet had any issues.
