President Obama on Tuesday said he cannot guarantee that retirees will receive their Social Security checks August 3 if Democrats and Republicans in Washington do not reach an agreement on reducing the deficit in the coming weeks.
"I cannot guarantee that those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue. Because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it," Mr. Obama said in an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley, according to excerpts released by CBS News.

How old are you, Tolsti?
Some people cannot go cold turkey, especially when the SS rug gets pulled out underneath them when they are older. Their age prevents them from recouping the money they paid into SS.
If the government wants to refund me the money I paid into SS, plus money that I would have made if invested- I would call it even.
We are dealing with authentic Communists. The only thing they understand is force. Brute force. Law is meaningless to them.
This is why “A well armed Militia” was authorized in the constitution. Our founders were brilliant.
And don’t forget, Obama literally guaranteed yesterday he’s hiking your taxes as soon as he’s re-elected. So he and the wookie can chow down/wear expansive clothing/fly around on much-needed vacays.
Oh, and don’t forget to eat your peas.
Desperation tactic. I have direct deposit, so screw you, O-Bleak-a.
Threats, ultimatums and all-around scolding do not constitute leadership.
Incompetent barely describes the Idiot-in-Chief.
So, someone help me out here. I understand an”entitlement” is something I am entitled to, like the funds I paid in for my retirement and my medical care in old age. Wiki says it is my “right”. So, by my thinking, people who are on welfare and lifetime of “aid” should not be classified as entitled. So, let’s leave the entitlements alone and get rid of the theft. My old age money is mine, I am entitled to it. No beggar is “entitled” to my money. They are only allowed my charity, aka, welfare, when I give it.
Tme to change the terms and meanings. Dump the parasites first, then we will talk about SSI.
I don't get it.
schu
Please ping me when this happens.
Now, next time don’t feel intimidated, just say what you really think...we are adults and can handle it....:))
Great post, thanks!
Amen!
This is different. Quite different.
I’m closing in on 40. I’ve thought since I did a highschool debate on this that it should be cut off immediately. People are slaves to this stuff now. If we had done it then we’d be in such better shape now.
Not only recognizing the Ikhwan, but proposing to FUND them. That's right. I'll find the link for you....
Your post is excellent, btw.
just teasing you about it for fun, I am glad you are posting it too. I actually posted the idea yesterday in another thread when it came to me.
I called Cantor's and McConnells offices and told them to call Dems out on their big lie on this. And as backup reference see :#251
Remember folks, this is the SECOND TIME he has gone with this gambit. He threatened military paychecks then, and Boehner folded like a cheap suit.
Why shouldn’t he do it again, and raise the stakes this time???
Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan, Libya and Washington.
FUBO!!!!!!!

This kind of blackmail by Obama can only work if the Republicans allow it by caving. If that happens then the Republican Party is a worse problem than having a president like Obama.
