Obamalot seems to really enjoy frightening seniors by threatening to withhold Social Security checks. They did it again Monday night, asserting that if the debt ceiling isn’t raised, why, those checks might not go out. Which is a lie.
The government is legally obligated to send out the checks and there’s no financial reason they can’t do it:
“In fact, according to the most recent Trustees Report to Congress, Social Security ran a $68.6 billion surplus during 2010. The trust funds’ holdings went up accordingly. Thus the Social Security trust funds held more assets at the end of 2010 than at the beginning.”
So, hey, Obamalot. Stop lying. And eat your own damn peas.
