And who is going to stop him ?
Reid started parroting him yesterday with "no SS for you on 8/3" to the MSM.

Has the MSM published anyone from Congress saying that the President was incorrect in saying the SS checks may not go out on 8/3 ? Anyone ?

People in top positions are saying and doing things that they legally shouldn't and Congress is turning a blind eye to them.

What robbed the retirees are Individuals allowing government to take their money to "invest", and then allowing that money to be spent, rather than earning a return.

Disabled have nothing to do with it.
