I have had my eye on this pretty close because my concern is that the president will again change the rules and NOT pay our Social Security recipients and NOT our military families. His actions would be to try and pin it on the republicans. It is my belief that if you watch it close enough, the republicans have tried over and over to fix this debt problem OR fix the payment problem. Nothing comes from the left except more taxes and lies. Many, many leaders have stated that ss will be paid as it is not an issue at all in this debate and automatically is paid. Many have said the same about the military. 200 billion will be taken in while the debt, ss, military, other expenditures equal about 165 billion. So there is plenty of money to cover the most important needs. There will be some government expenses that will be effected but those is what SHOULD be effected. Stop spending. Cut-Cap-Balance is a nice plan that should be implemented. Call and email everyone in congress to push these politicians into "fixing" this Washington problem.
