Idiotic Statements

“There's no shortage of idiotic arguments being made as the debt ceiling battle heats up. You may recall last week the President said Americans are too stupid to understand the debt ceiling argument. Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky has doubled down on that argument, and she also apparently knows a thing or two about stupidity. Schakowsky simultaneously argued that Social Security was fully funded until 2037, but if nothing is done on the debt ceiling Social Security checks won't go out this month.” If it’s “fully funded until 2035,” how is it possible for the checks not to go out this month if Obama doesn’t get his way? That can only happen if Obama arbitrarily “stops payment” on the checks if what Schakowsky says is true, which it is patently is NOT, since the Social Security funds have ALL been “borrowed” by the General Fund, long ago.
