2. The payments don't come out of the budget

The deductions in workers’ paychecks today pay for my SS as my paychecks paid for older people. If you end the payments, you’re essentially robbing those funds for other purposes. Unless they’re also planning to stop those paycheck deductions, which I have never heard any of them suggest.

SS does not contribute to budget deficits.

I stood in the living room when this clip was on the news……held my glass of wine, got very weepy and said to my husband: “How did we ever get lucky enough to have this most amazing man?”

Sniff……

I've watched this viral video over 20 times! I wish this was broadcast as often as the Senate GOP broadcast their lying attack ads!

what Obama just said. Whoever created the video should just STFU and let Obama speak, there's no way he'll do it better.
