I predicted Obama would do this. He's right on time.
The truth be told, however, is that many conservatives and card carrying Tea Party members will shout "We Are Broke!" from the rooftops, but when it comes to Social Security or Medicare, it is always: "But that's MY money!"
The big-eared Kenyan isn’t from this country.
I’ll be happy to return my SS checks.
“never let a contrived crisis go to waste”
It’s SUPER DUPER RECKLESS! 200% more recklessity!
The problem with Obama and his overgrown adolescent brethren is their reliance on superlatives. Everything is the worst, the least, the most, the best, the greatest, etc.
This Axelrodese Impresses the gullible like Obamaphone voters and Poli Sci PhDs but once you’ve broken the glass to get the fire extinguisher out you can’t pretend it’s still intact for the next big emergency.
Social Security is welfare just like the rest of it. And no, it isn’t their money. Their money got spend the minute the government took it.
Increasing the DEBT by 6 trillion dollars is the height of irresponsibility.
if one senior citizen dies of a heart attack because of this fearmongering, IT’S OBAMAS FAULT!
The problem is that the Democrats (They have actually changed now and should be called Socialists) have decided that they will use all means to gain the advantage. It matters not whether it hurts the same folks that they (supposedly) represent. It is simply a means to an end, and the end seems to be Socialism for all.
We have come to a crossroads with one side wanting a Socialist outcome (like Sweden but on a grand scale) or worse some other socialist but non-democratic country to be named. If you really look at the Constitution, things have continued to spiral out of control from the Congress to the President to the Supreme Court. All seem to be discarding the Constitution. I’d guess that this must happen before you change really change the Government.
Yes, things look really dim for America at this point. We have elected (well not we) the most Progressive (Socialist) President in modern times and now we pay the price. Seems that way too many now want free things at the expense of those working for it. Once we pass the magical 50% margin, well, things WILL change.
Extremely glad that I won’t be around to see the demise but I do fear for my children. Time for more States and State areas succeeding and maybe even another revolution I’d think.
Our forefathers have given us a Constitutional Republic but it seems that we can NOT keep it.
Navigator to pilot, navigator to pilot, you are over the target, repeat, you are over the target.
Bozo’s damaged our credit rating once already.
Obama is a sadistic piece of crap.
As long as there's a positive Social Security Trust Fund balance (it's currently at four trillion dollars), Social Security benefits can be paid by redeeming those bonds with no increase in national debt.
Any failure to do that should be a capital offense.
Well, it is!
Muslims have a habit of embedding their military in places where they know Westerners will refuse to strike, such as civilian neighborhoods, children’s hospitals, etc. In other words, they hold these people as hostages. Obama has that mindset, since he was raised outside the American homeland as a Muslim. His gambit is to hold social security recipients as hostages to force through his monstrosities.
I think there is some truth to that. To be sure, it has been hard not to notice that the Tea Party traditionally has not protested Social Security or medicare nearly as passionately as they have protested every other federal program. And I think it has been bad for their rep overall.
If government *takes* my money and promises that I’ll get it back when I retire ... what is it about that you don’t understand?
Someone should tell the Idiot in Chief that not raising the debt ceiling is not the same as default.
