If Obama withhold SocSec check, will he be impeached?

[B. Kidd]

So Obama is now the manager of all retirement accounts, how much does that pay?

"I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it" Barack "Social Security Really is Bankrupt" Obama

He lied again. The Gov't isn't going to suspend taxing paychecks, so revenue is still coming in whether the issue is resolved or not.

 

[shintao]

If Obama withhold SocSec checks as he threatened, he should be immediately removed from office -- by force if necessary.

Our Seniors have paid into the "Trust Fund" their entire lives and the vast majority of them have come to depend on that check, some for their very survival. A short while ago, Obama made an outrageous, stunning threat that he will withhold delivery of the checks unless he gets his way with Congress. Obama's demands have NOTHING to do with delivering funds to our seniors.

NOTHING!

Bernie Madoff is in prison for abusing funds entrusted to him and if Obama makes good on his threat to starve our elderly, he should be cellmates with Bernie.

Oh my! We will have to impeach all the republicans for their cut, crap & tilt plan.

Oh you are a liar and a manipulator who hasn't a clue what government will do in the future. Now stick your crystal ball up your ass and STFU!!!

 

[shintao]

Do you deny that your fearsome leader made the threat?

There was no threat.

None.

If the government gets shut down..bad things are really going to happen.

I know a lot of people on SS who took it as a threat. But of course if anything should happen we all know that it can't be Obama's fault. Ask him he'll tell you, or have his army of Obamabots tell you. I'm sure they will find a way to blame Bush.

Obama offered the returds a plan to cut the benefits and they ran away. Tsk!

Yes, he wanted 650 billion in cuts to Social Security and Medicare for seniors and veterans. Why didn't he want those cuts in welfare and SSI checks for minorities who are able to work and are scamming the system?

 

[Moonglow]

welfare has already been cut this year.

Then perhaps he should shut his piehole.

Good.

Seriously. Do you know how this works?

The government pays out millions of checks. If there is no credit..and no one that is making sure those checks get out..they could be delayed.

There are alot of unknowns. You can't just shut down the government and expect BAU.

Literally millions of seniors count on those checks for food money. The idea that Obama can threaten their survival alone tell you a lot about the man you're defending. If he follows through on his threat he's worse than bin Laden.

Business hasn't a clue either what this government will do in the future. That's why all those jobs aren't being created.

But foodstamps are up, up, and up.....

Lawmakers cut funding to the program that provides food for pregnant women, infants and children by over $500 million dollars.

You're defending this crap.

It's Conservatives that want to kill SSI. You included.

And closing down government, get this now, IS NOT GOOD FOR GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS.

Why?

Because the GOVERNMENT RUNS THEM. IF THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT TO RUN THEM...THEN THE EFFECTS COULD BE PRETTY BAD.

LIKE SENIORS NOT GETTING THEIR CHECKS IN A TIMELY FASHION.

So are profits.

Way up.

Right. That's why Steve Wynn, business mogel, slamed Obama out in Las Vegas said that business were terrified to make a move as long as he was president and that he "was the greatest wet blanket to business, progress and job creation in my lifetime.”

They know Obama is not a friend to private and corporate business

One upside to default, it is a fool proof way of shrinking government size.

you are just simply a loony tune! Obama was correct in his statement.



even if we cashed in some of the surplus SS treasuries, the federal gvt would have to fund it....without a debt ceiling rise, that is impossible....

 

[Moonglow]

But he was needlessly scaring the program's fifty-five million beneficiaries, the vast majority of whom are highly dependent on each month's Social Security check. So was Speaker John Boehner who, in a recent interview, also spoke of the possible interruption of benefits.

1) Whether people took it as a threat or not, it wasn't. It was a warning of what could happen in the case of default and it wasn't without merit.

2) It WON'T be his fault. And if recent polls are any indication, he WON'T get the blame by a majority of the population.

3) The current deficit, which Republicans suddenly started caring about when it concerned Dems pursuing their agenda, is primarily Shrub's fault. You can bet your ass that'll keep coming up often.

Are you daffy or what? The shred, crap & tilt republican plan does the same thing goofy, so who is making the threat?? God you guys are dumb.
