President Obama does NOT need to get on the air and announce this loudly, in so many words. And if there isn't a decision w/in some time in January, and people's witholdings show up bad, not much more needs to be said, imo.

Why vilify someone who is self-destructing in front of your eyes?

victory for his IMAGE and his speakership by bringing HIS coalition to accept the deal with Obama. It will be the no votes that will be made to look petty and unpatriotic at this crucial time for the nation. Obama can help him do that in the press.

Boehner NEEDS Obama now.

The people are coming to know the truth.

Obama is smart to let them get there on their own. If he forces it, it'll fail.

benefits in our 80s.

The money paid out to seniors in Social Security benefits either goes back to the government in taxes or (most of it) straight into the domestic economy.

We buy food, pay utilities, rent and other items that fuel our economy.

We buy fewer imported clothes and other items. Our money really goes to create jobs in the US.

Paying a little over $1200 per month to seniors is much better for our economy than giving tax breaks to the rich. The rich spend a far greater portion of their money on investments in factories overseas, in overseas travel and in luxuries.

We who rely on Social Security for our income should not be cut back. We help the economy.
