President Biden on Thursday sought to reassure Americans that benefits for veterans and Social Security recipients would not be impacted by the looming threat of a default as negotiators struggle to come to a budget deal and raise the debt ceiling.
“I’ve made clear time and again defaulting on our national debt is not an option,” Biden said in remarks from the Rose Garden where he was set to nominate the new Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“The American people deserve to know that their Social Security payments will be there, that Veterans’ hospitals remain open and that economic progress will be made and we’re going to continue to make it,” Biden continued. “Default puts all that at risk. Congressional leaders understand that and they’ve all agreed, there will be no default. It’s time for Congress to act now.”

That's a threat. That's a choice. The vulnerable are bargaining chips so that Democrats can get what they want.
And it’s a total LIE
Biden isn’t going to negotiate. McCarthy will need to shut down non essential gov’t operations.
LIARS!!! Social Security is Mandatory Pay. Congress and the Biden Clown Show on the other hand, not so much.
I believe DoD is classified as discretionary expenditures. Scary if true.
“...It’s time for Congress to act now...”
The House has already acted. They passed a bill that raises the debt ceiling. Now it’s up to the Quisling Puppet Biden to sign or reject the bill. It’s your move, ass-wipe Biden.
We call this Yellow Journalism
The Hill makes it appear as if Biden is trying to get a deal and everything is the fault of Republicans in Congress, even though the House has Already PASSED THE BILL!!! And it is BIDEN who is refusing to act.
So, when they go on the news shows and scare people about their SS checks, and veterans benefits, they *wink* to let the people affected know that it’s just talk, and they don’t really mean it.
And, if they feel like it, they can show up in a decade or so for an asylum hearing.
I’m smelling Shorty-Soros in this. Be cautious. Weasel old Nazi. He likes to pirate a country’s Treasury.
Why not cut welfare to the invading crimmigrants who have NEVER paid taxes.
> Biden isn’t going to negotiate.
Yep, believe nothing until it is officially denied.
Cut off our Social Security and watch what millions of us do quickly in the streets.
SS and Medicare are covered by trust funds, everything else requires a debt deal for full reliable payment.
VA hospital funding and VA benefits (and all forms of federal welfare and employee pay) might run out around August 2023 and not be restored until 2025.
SS and Medicare are covered by trust funds
ROFLMAO...
which just means they will be ...
after all wheres he going to get the money to support his little pet illegal aliens ???
bet that the Ukraine still gets whatever they want. I’d like to see all welfare cut off.
Meet the Social Security “trust fund”—up close and personal:
Btw I have made a new “trust fund” as well.
It is a piece of paper that says “Trust Fund” on it.
;-)
NOTHING Biden says can be trusted he has a 50 year record to prove it.
