So making sure we pay our bills and that as many as possible Americans have health insurance is now considered "hurting" the country. So this "bridge" you are talking about, you forecasting a Republican win in 2014 and 2016?
So you think Obama care is perfect? The dems are the ones refusing to negotiate
More than 57 million Americans receive monthly benefits from the Social Security Administration, including some 46 million retirees, spouses and survivors. The average monthly retirement benefit is $1,225.
22 million Americans that Social Security kept out of poverty last year, including 15 million adults 65 and older are due to get jack squat, if Republicans have anything to say about it.
A new report from AARP, in fact, shows that every $1 paid out by Social Security generates, in turn, about $2 of total output for the U.S. economy — or nearly $1.4 trillion in 2012.
I think 57 million people losing their checks might hurt the Republican party.
They're not just threatening Obama. They're threatening all kinds of folk.
If social security payments went unpaid, it would be Obama's doing and his alone. He should be impeached for even suggesting such a thing. If this were to happen Obama will be the reason. Can you progressives get it through your rather thick little heads?
Good. I'm glad all the Social Security old people will loose it.
They voted the Republicans in right?
So those old white men can just suck it up and not be on the government
entitlement and Medicare will end too? I hope so.
I don't want to pay for them. Just like they don't want to pay for the younger
workforce or military families on food stamps either.
It'll do them all good to see what it's like without government.
LOL!

Since when are democrats doing either of those two things?
Our members are worried that the benefits they have earned may be cut as part of a deal to reduce the deficit, fund government operations, or increase the debt ceiling, and they are increasingly worried that if there is no agreement very soon, they may not receive their Social Security checks and may lose access to their health care. - See more at: AARP urges Congress not to default on debt – AARP States
Could you send that to the Executive Vice President of the AARP and don't forget to add even more smarminesss. Never can be too smarmy. Explain to her, she is fear mongering and please, stop writing Congress. She is terribly, horribly wrong. You obviously know more than she does. Don't hold back, give her the scoop. There's what she knows, and what you know. And you obviously know more than the leadership of the AARP.
Nearly everyone gets back more than they paid in, after taking inflation into account. As the article says, "Social Security is — and always has been — a transfer system from younger generations to older generations."
Well the medical device tax is hurting the country and most agree is bad who will not negotiate it?
A 2.3% sales tax on medical devices are hurting the country? Exaggerate much?
