With retired people, the disabled, widows, and children of deceased workers counting on that money to pay rent and buy food, it would be left to administration officials to decide how soon they'd get their benefits.
They're really asking for it aren't they? They want a riot.
We need to seriously start considering how we're going to handle this because I'm starting to think that this isn't a bluff. They really could stop the checks. I believe they've been using the money in the Social Security fund to pay for the military industrial complex and other things that do nothing for American citizens.
How about if they don't get their paychecks until we see some real change? I think the Prez needs a cut in pay. About 50% ought to do it. I also think the rest of 'em need a cut in pay, too. Then, we will should have the Prez pay rent to stay in the White House. All governor's should have to pay rent to stay in their Governor's mansions. We bring our troops home. We cut DHS in half. We stop buying x-ray machines for airports. We also will have to sell Obama's "Beast". It's a gas guzzler and just simply not sustainable for the economy or the environment anymore. I also think Mrs. Obama's wardrobe should be sold to the highest bidder. She has lots of expensive dresses. Some rich woman would buy them. No more pensions being paid either. If you have held office in your state, thanks for your time and trouble. Welcome back to the civilian level. I think we can also stop paying for all ex-Prez's security entourage (cough - Bush - cough). You're on your own now and I encourage you to get yourself a concealed weapons permit, if you don't have one already, and be prepared to defend yourself just like every other American has to. After all, you shouldn't have any fear of the American people, right? We have to cut the apron strings eventually and, to be honest, we just can't afford to be paying for every retired Prez and First Lady to have the Secret Service agents at your beck and call. This isn't like the movie "Guarding Tess". Grow up and stop being scared. The American people can no longer afford your personal protection. You're all grown ups and can protect yourselves. I'm sure you have the money to pay for your own security entourage if you feel so inclined.
Well, I guess I'm just getting over all the fear mongering and harassment that our government is dishing out. They need to make cuts to their own pocketbooks first, then maybe I'll consider throwing granny into the street. I'll just have to sell her wheel chair first so she'll have some spending money.

And this is not the first time Obama has used the Politics of Fear to sell his schemes. He used it with Obamacare
...."Without it, people will be dying in the streets". He used it with bailouts..."Without it 2 million jobs will be lost...too big to
fail...people will starve.." and many other cases.
