Sent this message: Dear Mr. President, I heard you say you will not guarantee SS checks if the debt ceiling isn't raised. Why is it the scare always has to do with SS, Medicare, & our Soldiers pay? Why not stop your pay, your staff, or Congress and the Senate to save more money for our country? Why use Seniors, Soldiers, & our Needy as examples? Take the money from those who take no risks and reap the benefits!! Instead of threatening to withhold Social Security, VA and disability payments of people who really need the money.... Lets hold the paychecks of all house & senate members, then see how fast they resolve the debt ceiling crisis !!!!! Might be a good idea if everyone did it. |

He's just going to beat on us until morale improves. I wonder how much of the 80 million strong senior vote he expects to get. |

The President is not the one who allocates money. That's up to the Congress, who is threatening to default. Why aren't you calling for all the people who voted against raising the debt ceiling to give up their pay and staff? |

The SS fund is solvent until 2037. Now, if he and his Treasury Department decide to withhold payments in order to use the funds for other bills, that's another thing and could result in some serious legal problems. He and his staff know that. Therefore, his statements regarding SS checks being withheld are nothing more than scare tactics to gain support for his side. I don't like that kind of dishonest politics. Eisboch |

Instead of threatening to withhold Social Security, VA and disability payments of people who really need the money.... no one is 'threatening' anything except the GOP who wants to have medicare bail out the rich |
