I was wondering if anyone else has read or seen the clips with Pres Obama and him saying he cannot guarantee Checks from Aug 3 on this incl SSI, SSD as well as VA benefits

http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/07/12/7068367-if-no-deal-by-aug-2-obama-cant-guarantee-social-security-checks-will-go-out

this is the only source of my families income my husband is on VA and I on SSD if this actually occurs we will be up a creek without a paddle

yay and the stress after reading this has had me running to the loo

I don't want to go political here...against the rules I know. Just want to say try to keep your stress down as much as possible...this may just be media pressure being used in the war to decide debt ceiling action. Not much help to you I know, but trying to see the half full glass whenver possible these days.

I agree that the prez is trying to turn up the heat on the repubs. Don't stress yet but try to set aside a little food and money if you can. Might make you feel better?

I agree with most, we're the powerhouse of the world. I think they will increase dept ceiling today.

    this is my first time here so I hope I am doing this right.. I saw the post on SS  and it really hit home  I found this sight as I have undiagnosed cp  and was looking for help ( maybe someone to talk to ) Also it is very upsetting about the SS payments as that and Va is all we live on .. Don't know what we can do if no checks in Aug.. I have cp almost all the time for days then it subsides  then comes back Especially when sitting or riding in the car  .. Have had all kinds of invasive tests  some very hard to endure .. every dr has his own opinion..Right now i am taking hydrocodone with tylenol and try not to take it too often as i run out  Then pain is unbearable..I feel normal when I take the meds and can do housework etc and lead a normal life  But dr doesnt seem to want to let me take it too often  I never feel high just makes pain stop for about 4 hrs then it comes back  they did find two bad discs and cysts in my back and i tried the cortisone shot  but it paralyzed my legs for 6 hrs and I am afraid to try it again It only stopped the pain until it wore off the same day.. Well I didnt mean to blab so much  Feels good to be able to talk about the pain I try to hide it from others.. ty  for letting me vent

SS funds go through a separate non-budget trust fund. The only way payments could be interrupted is if the administration decides to divert those dollars.

  ty for answering my post  I have been trying to calm my husband down He recently had open heart surgery  and this SS mess plus my being in pain most of the time has really upset him . Its hard to live with someone who "hurts" so much I know...I have been up most of the night and was glad to see your post  Ty again.. Going to try to get some rest ...

I just read in a reputable source that there are still TRILLIONS of dollars in the the SS trust so don't worry about any of this.
I too have SSD and without this check I would not be able to pay my rent or eat. BUT I am not worried one bit.

I don't want to get political but all of us have to do whatever we can to make sure that OUR congressmen and senators know how much WE feel about anyone wanting to change our SSD or Medicare or reduce our benefits!!
