Obama Just Played His Big 'Trump Card' On The Debt Ceiling

Conveniently, just like Obamacare, Social Security is another great way for them to hold the people hostage, and force them to submit.  

Obama Just Played His Big 'Trump Card' On The Debt Ceiling

Early Thursday morning, Potomac Research Group analyst Greg Valliere predicted that if the debt-ceiling deadline grew closer, President Barack Obama would play his "trump card" in the debate. He would remind seniors that if Congress doesn't raise the debt ceiling, seniors wouldn't get their Social Security checks.

"GOP strategists like Karl Rove surely know that it's just a matter of time before President Obama throws a game-changer — warning senior citizens that their Social Security checks won't be mailed because of John Boehner," Valliere wrote in a note to clients.

A few hours later, Obama did just that during a speech at M. Luis Construction Company in Rockville, Md. He spent much of the speech warning that while the ongoing government shutdown was damaging, failure to raise the debt ceiling by an Oct. 17 deadline would be even worse.

"In a government shutdown, Social Security checks still go out on time. In an economic shutdown — if we don't raise the debt ceiling — they don't go out on time," Obama said. "In a government shutdown, disability benefits still arrive on time. In an economic shutdown, they don't."

It is a fucking trump card, who the fuck thinks defaulting is in anyway good?

It's fucking retarded, the bills have to be paid, not doing so is not acting in good faith.

Since when has the US Government acted in good faith?

Interesting date October 17th.

That date has been popping up in the blogosphere for sometime. Supposedly that's the date when the grid goes down, and while people are so busy with distraction, trying to light candles and keep their food from spoiling in the refrigerator... the banksters swoop in and clean out peoples accounts.

Don't you have patients to be treating, Doctor?

Since when are spending cuts in government worth risking the economic stability of the world. If you cannot see how irresponsible this is then you are brainwashed.

They aren't stopping fuck all, it passed every legislative branch it needed to and the opponent who ran against the idea lost badly.

Why they think it's appropriate to involve people's lives and well-being due to failed ideologies is beyond sociopathic. This is a political struggle, everything they are stating about ACA is assumptions based on raw data and relative comparisons, this action is unfounded in logic.
