FREEDOM, Calif--
Thousands of people on the Central Coast are fearing the worst. Social Security offices are being flooded with phone calls about the crisis and one woman is being asked to pay her bills early, before her checks stop coming.
Sarah Franklin lives in Freedom and on Friday morning she got a call from the manager at the apartment complex she lives at, asking for rent early. She said they're afraid she won't have money to pay it next week if she doesn't get her social security check.
"It's just really scary," she said. "I feel like such a baby for crying but the thing is, I'm not by myself, there's other people."
Franklin lives in the Pajaro Vista Apartments, a government funded complex that charges rent based on what you get in social security. Franklin gets about $970 in social security, so her rent is about $250 a month.
It's the end of the month and she's basically out of cash so hearing the complex wanted next months rent early was quite a shock.

If her rent is based on her SS amount, and she doesn’t get a check then the rent would be 0.

If you people insist on bringing logic to the table, you will definitely be sent to bed without any supper.....
Obama has not led people to feel confident about anything, but has, rather frightened his countrymen. This is a terrible legacy he now owns, no matter how the current issue on the debt ceiling gets resolved.
History will record him as an enemy to the people's faith and peace of mind during this trying time. He has hurt millions with his innacurate accusations and fear mongering speeches. He is an evil, spiteful, vengeful man who has no comprehension of what his role is in the White House and has let his thin skin and ego take precedence over the welfare of the people he is supposed to protect.
There may be some schedule for sending them out that differs. The person I consulted had already gotten the deposit and seems to get it on the last Thursday of the month.
However, in any case, this means that they’re all going out, and as usual, somebody is just trying to scare this old lady.
>> Instead of finding out the truth for themselves, they get hysterical on cue.
In the cooperative effort of deception, GOP leaders are not allaying the unnecessary fear prophesied by the liar-in-chief.
I agree. It’s cruel - but then, I have always thought Obama was a nasty SOB.
His own family may have been raving Marxists, but they were well-off, and he has no sympathy for people who aren’t. Bush’s family was well-off, but he did sympathize (perhaps even a bit too much!) and never would have done anything like this.
Ah! Thanks for the explanation.
Vandenberg to Monterey, more or less
Pretty nice place to live for $250 a month. $250 covers less than two weeks of just property taxes for me.

When allowed the lottery here in Colorado, it was clearly stated on the ballot that the funds would go to State parks and recreation.
Shortly after the ballot passes, the State government ignored this requirement and started spending the funds on other things like prisons, etc. We had ANOTHER election which made it very clear how and where the wanted the money spent.
Seems like the same MO for the bureaucrats.
What exactly is a sustainable community?
Is that like a gulag or commune?
The Lapdog Mainstream Marxist Obama-loving lying Media comes right on cue with the “hurt grannny”, “hurt the veterans”, hurt the “soldiers” stories, all to support the Commie agenda.
Cut every Government department by 75%, except the military.
Some people just LOVE to panic.......bet she voted for the current adminstration
A few years back, Carl Levin tried getting $20 million from highway funds to save Tiger stadium. He justified it by claiming a bus stop could be built into the place.
The fact was that the place was 80% on the ground when he asked for the money. He knew damn well he wasn’t going to save the stadium, he was just grabbing for the money.
It goes by your birthday. Mine is on the 29th. Just had my 70th yesterday.
Yup. Crooked. But you got your stadium anyway, everyone was happy, and he probably got lots of attaboys for doing it... while the city continued to have traffic congestion problems and pot holes?
Comerica park was already built by then. In fact these days it seems to be the only thing making money in downtown Detroit.
Unfortunately, the ends doesn’t justify the means. Just encourages them to do more of it.
Socialist, nonproductive, government-dependent employees are lying, defaming and stealing from the old, who paid the money into Social Security. They won’t do it without being punished. Depose them all, and get new leadership. On with the default. Starve the beast.
