On what legal basis can the President unilaterally decide to fully fund Social Security to the exclusion of other items budgeted by Congress? Yes, the President could theoretically ensure that all Social Security recipients got their full checks, but in order to do that he would have to unilaterally cut other things that Congress has appropriated funds for to zero. I don't see the legal basis for that.
ROFLMAO.... you are such a complete party hack. Who the fuck said he had a legal basis to do it on his own? Anyone? No, that is simply a fucking straw man attempt to divert the conversation.
The President is FEAR MONGERING. The public sees HIM in front of the camera saying "I can't guarantee Social Security checks will go out". THAT IS FEAR MONGERING. The public does NOT see the statements of every member of Congress who is responsible. So enough of your stupidity. As stated, he is FEAR MONGERING. Trying to SCARE SENIORS into believing their checks may be at risk.
In all seriousness, I don't see how the president can ensure that SS and Medicare are fully funded while other things are eliminated.
In all seriousness, you are a partisan douche bag.
IN all seriousness, NO ONE IS ASKING THE PRESIDENT TO GUARANTEE SS checks. But tell us dung.... WHY do you think the President chose SS to bring up as something that 'might not get paid'??? Why did he not instead say 'I can't guarantee Congressional checks will go out'????
I wonder.
