Obama said yesterday in a speech, that if the Republicans don't raise the debt ceiling, he won't send out social security checks to the elderly next month, or pay the troops, "and it will be the Republicans fault." !!!
He is using the elderly as leverage to spend more $$ or borrow more $$$ than we have evidently. He just gave a speech a few weeks ago saying that if the republicans would sign the fiscal cliff law, that he would discuss the debt ceiling in January with them !! He lied. He's not discussing anything with anyone. We now have a dictator, who does not yet have full power to be a dictator.
For anyone who doesn't know, social security checks for the elderly, are not "entitlement" checks. Welfare is "entitlement" $. The elderly worked all their life & had money taken out of their check, against their will, & it accumulated interest, & they recieve a check in their old age if they meet certain age etc gudelines, based on their lifetime wages. Like an IRA with no interest. If that amount were an Ira, the elderly would be multimillionaires by now.
The elderly need these checks. They worked all their life for them & earned them.I believe this tells us a lot about our president.
Sorry I thought I put this in the news section.
