I saw some of that at the 9/12/09 March on DC. Seniors there were angry over the death panels in Obamacare. They came in wheelchairs and on walkers. So don’t underestimate them! The Dems hold back SS at their own peril!
I’m just joking, mostly.
Again, SS payments aren’t in jeopardy, and if the GOP had the comms machine that the libs did, they could impale these idiots on that threat and corner them into a deal.
Boehner should have come out immediately, explained the law to Americans that surely get it, and then say:
“So you see, if the President and Mr. Reid want to threaten your livelihood and break their promises to you, it’s because they are CHOOSING to do it, and not because they HAVE to do it.
I’d remind the President not to take a hostage he isn’t willing to shoot. If the President is suggesting taking my mother, or your grandmother’s SS check hostage when he doesn’t have to, then I’m not sure what ‘good faith’ looks like from here. The President has our bill, which is now in the Senate, that’s what we can pass.”
