As pointed out by many, Reid is very much mathematically challenged - if you take him seriously. His objective is to put beneficiaries of these programs into a frenzy so that they will put pressure on their GOP to raise the debt ceiling. It's unlikely to work in sufficient numbers.

Even if the government debt limit is not raised, there is enough revenue coming into Big Brother's coffers on a monthly basis to pay the debt due, plus Social Security, plus Medicare, plus Medicaid, plus military salaries, plus veterans' benefits, and still have some to spare.

So, even if there is no increase in the debt limit, folks who don't receive their customary checks would have no one to blame but the Obama Administration - which issues the checks and will remained authorized to do so - for their inane tactics and spending priorities.
