“President Obama warned of stopped Social Security checks and issued a formal veto threat Tuesday to the Republican spending plan currently being debated in the House, setting the stage for a potential government shutdown next month.”

So he will veto the Republican plan and still stop SS checks from going out?

“We need to cut this budget dramatically even if it requires shutting down the govt.

To do so we need to get the American people on our side”

Yup. Stop SS checks from going out to people who have earned them all their lives and throw them out into the street. That will get them on our side, all right.

“Does the -resident actually have the power to stop Social Security checks?

Will he stop all welfare, unemployment, SDI checks, gub’mint pension checks too?”

Does`nt matter if he has the legal power to do it. He will do it anyway,,,with the full support of libs and the media.
