So Obama is threatening to stop sending out social security checks

[Fury]

Have you ever seen a more thuggish move by this scumbag?

Playing games with people's livelihoods just to further his agenda. Pretty shameful.

He was asked if he would guarantee that SS checks would go out on Aug 2nd or something and he said no he would not guarantee it

[Fury]

Right off his CBS interview:

Scott Pelley: Can you tell the folks at home no matter what happens that Social Security checks are going to go out on August the 3rd? There are about 20 billion dollars of Social Security checks that have to go out the day after the government is supposed to go into default.

Obama: Well this is not just a matter of Social Security checks, these are veterans checks, these are folks on disability, their checks. There are about 70 million checks that go out —

Scott Pelley: Can you guarantee as President those checks will go out on August the 3rd?

Obama: I can not guarantee those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven’t resolved this issue because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.

Feel free to play deaf, blind and dumb as I know you're going to.

Fact of the matter is that year-to-date revenues far exceed the monthly payments that need to be made on SS. Typical class warfare games from this thug.

1. He knows it won't happen
2. We know it won't happen


Sadly,  BOTH sides are so full of rhetoric and hyperbole that no one with an IQ over 100 takes anything these politicians say during a battle serious.

At the end of the day, it is ALWAYS about them....the Elephants and the Donkeys in power, with an occasional show to make us think there is a difference.

I sure hope this post helped clear some misconceptions up

So did Obama admit finally what I have said from day one that ss is a scam?  

[Straw Man]

He was asked if he would guarantee that SS checks would go out on Aug 2nd or something and he said no he would not guarantee it

yeah I saw that video but that can't be the THUGGISH THREAT that BF is referring to

[Fury]

yeah I saw that video but that can't be the THUGGISH THREAT that tony is referring to

So what was it? A thinly veiled threat? Sorry that what you perceive as a thuggish threat is different than what I do.

Then again, you're a genuine Obama dicksucker and you think that we need to spend trillions more to fix the economy. So your opinion doesn't mean anything.

What does ss have to do with anything?    I thought were was a so called trust fund viable for 20 years or so?

I thought the roughly $200 billion in revenues the govt. takes in every month far outweighs the $70 billion that will need to be paid out for SS. Or does I fails at maths?

It's a thuggish threat made by a Chicago political thug.

I guess you watched that and got scared and felt you were being threatened by a thug

I watched it and saw a guy that said he can't guarantee checks can go out unless they can reach an agreement

what is he supposed to do

LIE?

Obama may have finally revealed , unintentionally, that ss is indeed a ponzi scam like Peter schiff got the ss trustee to admit

sorry you're so scared

maybe you should call your mother

You can't seem to grasp that the govt. brings in 3x as much in revenues every month than would need to go out for SS. So Obama threatening to withhold payment because of some perceived lack of funds is a thuggish move and he's playing games with the livelihoods of Americans. Why am I not surprised that a douche bag like you has no qualms with withholding money that could go out?

You're terrible at trolling. Then again, you also support spending trillions of dollars more in monopoly money because you think that will fix the economy. Apparently you know something that all the ratings agencies and financial experts don't.

Oh wait, you're a Bay-area liberal so OF COURSE you know more than them. You know everything about everything. California is a beacon of progressive success!

[Kazan]

What other reason would have to say that other than scare the old people? Taxes are still going to be collected and the government is going to have money

so we have plenty of money?

I thought it was a Ponzi Scheme

Make up your mind

Do you really want to discuss facts?

I'm not sure because 85% of your post is just a personal attack on an anonymous poster on an obscure message board

[Straw Man]

he said pretty simply if they don't reach an agreement then he can't guarantee it

the Repubs have also indicated they might not reach an agreement

what's the diff?

[Soul Crusher]

Ha ha ha ha ha.    The trustee of social security said ss is financed the same as a mad off scam.  Do you need to hear it for yourself? 

[Fury]

Talking about government revenues = SS? Playing word games is about all you've got. It's not like you have any credibility to fall back on.

Really? Obama's whole shtick has been class warfare, why would this be any different? Get the old people scarred so they will start calling their reps. The only way Obama wins is if the reps cave and he knows it.

Here we go as per usual. You fail at reading comprehension and start playing word games in an attempt to save face. You're a broken record.

How much money the government brings in has nothing to do with the solvency of SS.

so then I guess Obama can't guarantee the US will send out SS checks and all the other stuff he mentioned too

thuggish threat alert

take cover

why don't you post the video so we can all see this THUG in action
