“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday disputed warnings that Social Security is headed for bankruptcy, calling those assertions an “outright lie.” And he says the huge federal entitlement program has not added “one penny” to the federal deficit.”

OK, so Social Security does not add one penny, not one! If that is the case then this must be explained:


Quote:
“President Obama on Tuesday said he cannot guarantee that retirees will receive their Social Security checks August 3 if Democrats and Republicans in Washington do not reach an agreement on reducing the deficit in the coming weeks.

“I cannot guarantee that 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,” Mr. Obama said in an interview with CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley, according to excerpts released by CBS News.

We are dealing with the lies and distortions of your master here.
Even members of his own party know that he's lying and distorting the facts.

The guy can't do anything except lie, twist and lie some more!

Please stop lying.
Why do they keep lying and not post what he said, I doubt if the SS etc payments would have stopped, I guess the other side had lots of phone calls and emails, tweets or whatever.

Thats your opinion, Seniors, Vets and the Disabled are not that dumb, they can see what's happening, it was never going to happen. I'm sure the Republicans and Tea party received some phone calls, emails, tweets, whatever.

A monster? take a look at Ric Perry's prayer party and the fanatics with that one, talk about Monsters they are real ones.

And one of his Democratic cronies wants to increase the debt limit by another 2 trillion dollars?
From the way i understand it if the house doesnt vote to increase the debt limit then the country has no money and all those federal,state and municipal jobs that rely on gvmnt money/assistance get shut down due to lack of money. the Democrats are sitting at the table waiting to sign the bill that would raise the debt while the republicans are holding back and dont want to sign the bill so when the country goes belly up on Aug 2 dont blame the Dems..
