Stop Playing Politics with Seniors' Social Security Checks

U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today joined 12 of his freshman Senate colleagues in asking President Obama to stop using scare tactics to frighten seniors and to start responsibly addressing the financial problems facing the country. The request came on the heels of President Obama's recent threat to stop issuing Social Security checks if Congress fails to fulfill his request and raise the debt ceiling. The President has made similar threats about paychecks for the military and their families.

So why did the Senate reject the Boehner bill? Because they were happier with the boners Reid likes to produce!

As usual the GOP is lying to the American people. They are holding the country hostage and willing to hurt America (If that isn't anti-American I don't know what is) just to stick it to Obama. There is a $30 billion coupon payment due August 15 that must be paid and that will exceed revenues in order to prevent default. To pay it the treasury is going to have to stock pile cash and will not be able to pay out benefits. STOP BELIEVING THEIR BLACK AND WHITE VIEW OF THE WORLD AND THEIR LIES!

lol the social security checks can be paid, but its going to either cause more inflation and taxes on the people because social security is a fund, which has nothing in it. social security checks were sent out as borrowed money. so basically more money needs to be borrowed to send out social security checks....u really want to do that??? wouldnt it be better to raise taxes on those who pay too little???
