Ending Obama's Social Security Scare Tactics

There is merit in helping voters understand where the responsibility lies for the destructive tax-and-spend policies that are crippling the American economy.

[W]hen Obama threatens not to pay Social Security checks on time, the proper response of congressional Republicans should be to pass emergency legislation directing the Secretary of the Treasury to pay interest on the national debt, Social Security and Medicare, active-duty members of the military and government bond-holders before any other government bills are paid.

Of course, the Senate Democratic majority won't go along with this and even if it did, Obama would veto such legislation if it reached his desk.
