Obama is trying to use the fear tactic on the elderly and disabled - no social security checks. Can you imagine if this did happen how many old people would be pissed off.

Direct Depost is the status quo of Social Security beginning in March or is it may 2011 all remaining social security recipients whom been receiving it in the mail will have to have a bank deposit established.
So GOP call his bluff. Ask your represntative to send out an assurrance that this will not happen if a government shutdowns does occur.
The SS checks are automatic. I don’t think there has to be a button pusher to do direct deposit. It would take longer to dismantle the automatic deposit and restart it againn than for them to lv it alone. Ya think?
