Joseph my dear friend, I've been listening to all that falderall on the news too, and it's a crock of s***. Seriously. Like several have commented here, it IS a scare tactic. Don't get me wrong - I voted for Obama - but once a president takes office, and it gets close to re-election time for that all-too-coveted 2nd term - they ALL are alike.
It is the Washington smoke and mirrors - it's so much like the Bulls ex player Dennis Rodman - famous not only for his rebounds but his 'flops', and looking SO afflicted if a player of the opposing team just brushed by him.. . . o_O
The country would riot if those social security/disability checks were one day late, let alone, missing. Trust me my friend, your money will be there.
You are worth TONS AND TONS more than the price of your sisters car or your monthly income - and if she gets pissed off, seriously, she can stuff it. Tell her to shut up and get a life. I am tired of her holding some sort of power over your head because she has a bloody job - ((eyeroll)). She, like every OTHER American, is one pay check away from losing her job. She should not be so high and mighty.
Sorry if my words are harsh - but when it comes down to it - I am FIERCELY on your side, so I admit I am biased!!! Forgive me, I love you! You can't go anywhere because I (and many others) love you too much. You have to stay and get through all of this, with us, together. (((((HUG)))))
