Last week President Obama made an alarming statement to the nation's senior citizens. He told CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley he couldn't guarantee that $20 billion in Social Security checks will go out on Aug. 3, the day after the government would go into default if it doesn't raise the debt ceiling. "[T]here may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it," Mr. Obama said. (Thomas Saving, WSJ, 7/22/2011)
Obama and Vermont's own Colonel, Bernie Sanders, are just not on the same page. Bernie claims Social Security has plenty of money while Obama says he can't pay seniors. Who is telling the truth and who is lying? RedStateVT demands an investigation....and the truth!
President Obama and House Speaker John A. Boehner rushed Thursday to strike agreement on a far-reaching plan to reduce the national debt but faced a revolt from Democrats furious that the accord appeared to include no immediate provision to raise taxes. (Washington Post, 7/21/2011)
Hold the phone! The media has been telling us that it was the Republicans who were in disarray.
