And this is exactly why we need to send notes to the White House. It's our tax money, they better damn well do what we want with it!!

I get your point, and realistically no...they probably don't read them all. But it doesn't matter. Failing to do something or even attempt to make your voice heard is the day democracy dies...voting isn't enough.

I still get the impression they'll act very soon. It will happen. They don't want a full blow economic implosion to define the administration's last few weeks in office.

I called the White House number that CamaroScotty posted (and sent an email) and I talked to two actaul people who asked what my concern was and they had me record a message--no one may ever listen to it, but you never know. They will see a volume of emails even if they don't take time to read them! Not sending one email because you don't think it will matter is the same as not voting and saying your one vote does not count!

They care more about the subject line in those emails than anything else. It lets them gauge public reaction.

I don't. The White House seems to be dragging this out. Something is going on or it would have been a done deal already.

Governments aren't used to acting fast. Getting anything accomplished in a 1 month timeframe is extremely good for them. A matter of days, over a weekend is nearly impossible for them. Hopefully something concrete will be announced this week.
