President Obama on Tuesday said he cannot guarantee that retirees will receive their Social Security checks August 3 if Democrats and Republicans in Washington do not reach an agreement on reducing the deficit in the coming weeks.
Man. I would not want you to piss my mama off. Or my in-laws.
You can't go back on FDR's promise. They might just run your ass out of the White House on a rail if you do.
You missed the real big news. Why, if the Social Security Trust Fund contains trillions of dollars in assets would the Social Security checks stop?
The only reason the checks would have to stop is that the Social Security Trust Fund is a sham.
Yeah, but we already knew that.
Yes, we already knew that.
But the President's stating that he couldn't guarantee the checks would go out is the closest a Democrat has come to admitting it's a sham.
They can admit it or not admit it, all the same to me. I know it's a sham, and I've known it since I was a kid. Commander Zero telling me so barely impinges on the radar.
