@ladybeachbum don't buy into the liberal spin...

@BusyMommy
Or for your Social Security check at retirement.

@macdaddy I'm not liberal at all but Texas has been pretty out spoken on how much they don't need the Fed so now a little thank you just might be in order. Does he have to? No, but playing nice might be in his best interest.

I am.sure he has......just because he hasn't done a Christie media circus with his arms wrapped.around Obama....I am.sure he has shown his appreciation for the President.doing his job here

@Fairlane67 Social security is not a gimme, it is money paid in just like an IRA but doesn't get interest. When you pay in the max, you can get a semi living allowance which you have paid .

Would I expect any President to drag their feet in a time of need for political payback- Republican or Democrat- No.

@Posterguy you will argue about anything, won't you?

Red states- Blue states - Are we the United States- Red ,White and Blue?

@Posterguy you will argue about anything, won't you?Only what I chose, how about you?

Trash cans?

@BusyMommy Thanking the federal government would be like thanking an insurance company IMO.
Although there may be a justified expectation for people to do there jobs. acknowledging and thanking someone for doing a good job, going above the minimum standards expected or doing an noticeably good / great / exceptional job should in my opinion ALWAYS be acknowledged or credited just as a matter of civil behavior.When I was burglarized some years ago - my agent handling my claim did an exceptional job in my opinion - with what I expected to be a fight to be compensated in my claim.I made sure her and her supervisor was aware of my appreciation - you may be surprised at how these little gestures will come back over life. I was surprised at their feedback regarding how rare this occurs.why should we not thank / acknowledge anyone for a job well done?Whether it is a social security clerk, a dps clerk, or a policemen - many of these people we are forced to interact with have the power/ability to make our experience positive or miserable -

My goodness...call it what you will...but this thread has gone there.

To manners, decency and common sense?
