Early Thursday morning, Potomac Research Group analyst Greg Valliere predicted that if the debt-ceiling deadline grew closer, President Barack Obama would play his "trump card" in the debate. He would remind seniors that if Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling, seniors wouldn't get their Social Security checks.

"GOP strategists like Karl Rove surely know that it's just a matter of time before President Obama throws a game-changer — warning senior citizens that their Social Security checks won't be mailed because of John Boehner," Valliere wrote in a note to clients.

You’ll notice Ubama NEVER plays “trump cards” called welfare, food stamps, Section 8 housing subsidies, or any other handout to the Democrat moocher base.

Pass a bill funding Social Security, and make Democrats vote against Seniors.

Can’t be - according to libs SS is in the black, and has its own source of funding.

Further proof the lockbox model never existed for SS.

Next step? Confiscation of all 401k deposits under the ruse that FedGov can better manage the investments for greater return.

Closer and closer...

I’m a CONSERVATIVE, so I recognize the obvious PONZI SCHEME called Obamacare.

Obamacare has nothing to do with health, care, or medicine.

Obamacare has EVERYTHING to do with insurance.

Obamacare is a Federal Insurance Monopoly.

Obamacare is in violation of US Anti-Trust Laws.

Obamacare is a Federal Insurance Premium Collection Agency, aka FIPCA for Obamacare.

We CONSERVATIVES know that there will be other Federal Insurance Ponzi Schemes, right down to the Insurance Premium collected for the inhaling of CO2.

Then FIPCA will be there to collect that CO2 Insurance premium from all citizens.

But I digress, let us focus on the present.

If Boehner Caves In to the Court of Public Opinion, which is run by the Low Information Liberal “Mainstream” Media, and Obamacare is funded, Obama can then raise every year or quarter his Obamacare insurance premiums as high as he wants to, and the sorry US Congress can’t do anything about it.

Congress will thus be bypassed, and will no longer be needed in the future to fund the vote buying schemes of the social engineering POTUS.

If Obama isn’t worried about the terrible calamity, why should I?

He obviously isn’t worried, he refuses to negotiate.

Screw him and the horse he rode in on.

How about stopping foreign aid to the countries that give us nothing but disrespect in return? Why attack the American citizens that worked and contributed to this country?
