Obama says he cannot guarantee Social Security checks will go out on August 3 - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
The Good President will have to let Old People, Disabled people STARVE because of the damned dirty GOP.
Starve you hear, STARVE.
I retired 19 months ago. My wife continues to work and I am on Social Security. Personally, I am at that point of frustration with the deficits and spending that I possibly do not care whether or not the Federal Government stays open for business. It might be best to shut it down. It would be painful for my wife and I, but we would survive.
It is time for this country to have a complete reversal of policy. It is time for both parties to stop spending our hard-earned tax dollars as if it did not matter how much of a deficit they run. It probably is time that we shut down a government that has become tyrannical.
It is probably time that we shut down a government that tells what size car we drive. It is probably time we shut down a government that tells us what type of lightbulb we must purchase, no matter how much we dislike the one we will have to purchase.
It is probably time we shut down a government that tells us we can keep our insurance but entices companies to drop our insurance.
It is probably time we shut down a government who forces us to spend excessive amounts of our hard-earned money for fuel for our cars when energy is abundantly available right now, but companies are not left alone to drill, pump, and refine our oil and gas.
It is probably time that we shut down a government that wants to raise taxes when we are in a lingering malaise with continuing very high unemployment.
It is probably time that we shut down a government that allows 47% of it's citizens to pay no income taxes.
In 1964, there was a book published entitled, "You Can Trust the Communists To Be Communists." Today, one might write a book entitled, "You Can Trust Tax and Spend Democrats To Be Tax and Spend Democrats." President Obama within the past week has intimated that he wants to get this debt ceiling business behind us so he can go on a new or continued spending spree.
Enough is enough! Too many Americans have yet to learn the virtue of frugality and many, unfortunately, will never learn it. Too many Americans have not saved or are not saving over their lifetime and have always lived for today. This is irresponsible. Also, and again very unfortunate, far too many people have become dependent on a nanny state to take care of them. This too is highly irresponsible. The result is the government spends and spends and taxes and taxes to provide services that individuals should provide for themselves. And then, surprise of surprises, the government spends far too much and runs deficits and creates debt that just explodes and the revenues can no longer pay the bills. And some sit around wondering how in the world could this have happened. And some even sit around telling us that their nanny bennies better not be cut.
Shut it down!!! Well, at least shut down the tax and spenders and do it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!
