Social Security Administration employees are being instructed to tell people who ask that if the debt ceiling is not raised, their social security benefits could be in danger.

In an email sent Friday, obtained by The Daily Caller, employees are instructed:

“If a member of the public asks whether their Social Security payment will be affected if the federal debt ceiling is not raised, you may give the following response:
‘Unlike a federal shutdown which has no impact on the payment of Social Security benefits, failure to raise the debt ceiling puts Social Security benefits at risk.’

Why would SS be affected by the Debt Ceiling.

Don't we have a Social Security Lockbox filled with our payments over the years?

It's time to pass a reasonable first world budget.

Tech, science and infrastructure was advanced under Bush. So those aren't the problem.
