He can’t shut off SS. There is an income flow to the fund regardless of shutdown or not, 12.4% of every paycheck in America, in fact. He’s talking out his ass.
What he does not have funds for, however are all the entitlements that make up the EBT system. He hasn’t submitted a budget that has been approved by Congress in 5 years. These payments are all unbudgeted and illegal DEBT in my opinion, unlike SS.

But that’s a farce as well. The fed takes in what 3 trillion annually? They CAN pay for it.
All of that is irrelevant though. I think you know damned well he will use EBT, SS, Medicare, etc. to scare the crap out of whomever he can.
Really? S.S. is ‘legal’ and, as such, able to be tacked upon the debt (Oops, more like into the ‘unfunded liabilities’ column...but I digress)?
‘Gov’t can provide’ for your retirement but can’t do the same for your ‘healthcare’? Does not compute.
