Well, technically, no matter what they decide, they don't have the money to do it.
But I'm sure they'll print some more magic money to take care of it if they have to.

Honestly, if you depend on Social Security as your sole source of income, you've been screwed for a while. It's a huge government Ponzi scheme. Sadly, lots of people have made poor decisions over the course of their lives and now do depend on the checks.
Honestly, I really think this is pure fear mongering on Obama's part.

That's what I've been hearing a lot, and I agree but why though? Why would he do that?

Not everyone on social security has necessarily made "bad decisions." A lot of people are simply (severely) handicapped. But yeah, can't say I'm surprised that this is happening...

As a person with several mental disorders, chronic bronchitis and chronic sinusitis, severe Gerd, and chronic nausea this money is the only way I can get food. My sister is trying to get it because she got beat up by her husband and hurt her back further lifting up an old drunk woman off the road. She's in so much pain she can hardly sleep and this is over a year later. They can't do anything besides give her hardcore pain meds. She has no source of income besides her husband who hurt her back. So unless she can get on disability she has to continue to live at home with us and her 2 kids and kiss her husbands butt.

Some are handicapped. I don't think that's the majority of people though. Supposedly Obama is going to address the nation on this at 9:00 pm EST.

What did he have to say about the SSI issue? He listed all the things that could happen if the Republicans refuse to capitulate and the Democrats refuse to capitulate. Basically, your grandma will die, your mom will die and your dog/cat is going to be in serious danger.

Obama is full of poop and just trying to scare Grandma. Typical dirty liberal politics. To be fair, the Republicans do the exact same thing.

That would make them politicians looking at re-election next year. Oh wait.
