Quote - Our Social Security checks may not be sent out in August and may be cut back severely. If this happens I will be making drastic cuts here as my check is my only income.
At risk of being political, according to the WSJ, the Government will take in $172 Billion in revenue in August, which is sufficient to pay debt service, Social Security and Medicare, Unemployment and militiary pay with $27 Billion left over for other expenses.
Again, I don't want to bring politics into this; I'm just sad that BluEcho and others are frightened and I just wanted to put that fact out there. :sad:
