Guys we are talking about business that is non-contract. We are talking about government employees walking in with a Mastercard and making a purchase. Mastercard is going to send HD a check pretty quick and if the gov't doesn't pay mastercard then interest charges will accumulate. Either way HD is getting the dough from Mastercard. And HD is no little guy w/ $53 Billion in sales that's probably #10 or 20 on Fortune 500. It's hard to get any bigger, IOW I'm sure they manage their receivables with their best interest in mind.

I think the reason things don't get done properly in Washington is too much bickering and adversarialism i.e. Dems vs. Rep. trying to court favor with voters by trumping up one side's mistake or twisting around facts to suit whatever agenda is being pushed. Sad, but this government system was established by the USA's founding fathers with the people's best interest in mind. The system is not the problem, the execution of the governement's responsibilities is what is. People want the governemnt to be responsible for everything (medicare, SS, defense) and not have their hand in anything at the same time because they're overreaching. Pretty tough.
