“They need to hold out until Obama is forced to publically say he can’t pay the EBT bills and cuts them off.”
He’s already said that SS will be cut off.
They need to hold until they get the concessions that they’ve asked for, and I’m talking about some measly medical device tax cut.
He can’t shut off SS. There is an income flow to the fund regardless of shutdown or not, 12.4% of every paycheck in America, in fact. He’s talking out his ass.
What he does not have funds for, however are all the entitlements that make up the EBT system. He hasn’t submitted a budget that has been approved by Congress in 5 years. These payments are all unbudgeted and illegal DEBT in my opinion, unlike SS.
