The truth. But people don't want to hear the truth, do they?
They'd rather listen to AM Radio screaming about the Kenyan in chief and his death panels coming to your hometown, wouldn't they?
BTW... did you hear the interview? He didn't say he was going to stop SS checks. Probably your AM Radio Conscience told you that. What he actually said was " if a deal isn't reached, he couldn't GUARANTEE that the checks would go out, as there may not be enough money in the coffers".
Nothing like questioning what lie is going to be used by using a lie to question it. You guys are lower than whale shit, you do realize that, right?
If there is not enough money in the Social Security fund to pay then it is DIRECTLY the fault of this Administration and all past Administrations. You see, Social Security payments are supposed to be maintained for only one purpose, to pay Social Security. Instead everyone has been using those funds to pay for the functioning of Government. Replacing the funds with US treasury Bonds.
As I have pointed out in the past and as may finally be clear with this threat.... how does a bankrupt Government pay for the Bonds they foisted on the Social Security account?
Further as Social Security is paid every month legally how does Obama or Congress divert those funds to Government projects and NOT use them to pay the legal reason they are taken, Social Security recipients? Same with Medicare, working people PAY a specific tax for medicare, how does the Federal Government LEGALLY divert those funds to NONE medicare payments if the Debt ceiling is not raised?
If the Government refuses to pay Social Security and medicare citizens should sue in Federal Court for the accounting to prove that Social Security and Medicare taxes paid in each month are not able to cover the monthly costs and that none of those funds are being diverted for other Government projects or payments.
