Can I ask a question..my Mom gets social security every month(She has been getting it ever since my Dad died in 1998) she wants to know if the GOP wants to cut social security..that is what is most important to her. I keep on trying to explain to her that is just fear tactics from the Democrats but she wants to know why Boehner did not mention it. Can you explain to me exactly what they want to cut so I can tell her. I hate the fear mongering from Obama and his minions, its all a tactic to scare people

The video goes on too long, doesn't say anything new after about the first five seconds and I kept on hoping it would be over.... just like the Obama presidency. Bravo!

He is unable to make a “z” sound at the end of a plural

That's probably the Bahasa (language of) Indonesia in him.

Ya know, if any media shill ever put those questions to barry bassturd, he would probably pull out his passy and stuff it in his mouth and walk off stage.

I heard the idiot. It has been a MSM talking point for WEEKS. She is a little behind. She obviously didn’t have an intelligent point to make since she had to fall back on that old thing.

Im guessing Boehner was given 5 minutes to respond, and he wanted to present the most bang for the buck. Your mother will get her SS checks...as always... They are not looking to cut any of the current recipients, they are looking at “reform” for those that reach SS age in the future (bout 15 years or so from now if I recall correctly)

There is more than 2 trillion dollars in the social security trust fund. It is money that has already been borrowed and exists in treasury bonds. The Social Security checks must go out because the money is there and can't be used for anything else.

Obama is just blowing smoke out of his ass if claims that social security checks will stop if he doesn't get his way.

yeah, no s%&*....Hussein does not EVER want to have someone rebut his stupid, narrow, sorry ass.

He is on the wrong side of the economy, and people losing their jobs, getting more pissed off at his epic failure of a presidency every day.

I am very glad Boehner, for whatever his plan’s problems might be, chose to fire back and this Kenyan Communist.

Wonder if Reuters will try to move markets like they did last nite....disgusting! Can’t trust anything these media loyalists say or do.

Heard that CNN had a poll showing 2/3 of Americans support Cut, Cap and Tax, but they did not report it on air...just a blurb on their website....

They cannot and will not cut her social security......but within the social security program is what I call “gravey”...for the elites...that means the ‘golden parachutes’ where they are collecting when they really don’t need to do so, and these might be adjusted depending on what their revenues are otherwise.

Those people have top of the line coverage on everything....rather like the Politicians in congress who are exempt from everything...and have their cushions well padded.
