Add one more terrifying item to the what-happens-if-we-default list: No Social Security checks.

That’s precisely what President Obama predicted Tuesday when new CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley asked him if he could guarantee that retirees and the disabled would get a huge batch of Social Security checks due to go out Aug. 3 – the day after the country’s debt limit is reached.

I was really amazed at just how mad they are. Even they know this is a lie.

Social security is the one place where stanch conservatives and hardcore liberals can shake hands and agree that we must have a massive socialist system in place.

I don’t either. I just got a wild hair and decided to check out what they are thinking about this. I was shocked! Looks like he’s got a real problem if his base is essentially saying the same things that conservatives are on this issue.

If we don't pay the Social Security recipients then

WE DON'T PAY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WORKERS!

Ground Air Farce One! Shut down the White House and move the Obismal family to the Motel Six in Minot North Dakota! My wife just returned after visiting her family and attending her high school reunion.

The Motel Six in Minot is on the floodplain and the Obismal family will learn what it means to be "under water"!

Maybe the Republicans can trot out that image of grandma being shoved down the stars the way the Democrats did way back. Turn about is fair play. OTOH, isn’t SS a different budget item or something, not tied to the national debt?

Yes, that is correct. There is no way Bozo can stop SS checks. He is merely trying to terrorize old people into screaming to raise the debt limit. The republicans should already be countering this lie with the truth. I can't understand why they(pubbies)are so gutless.
