Treasury Secretary Jack Lew warned Thursday that timely payments to Social Security beneficiaries, veterans, active duty military personnel and Medicare providers would be at risk if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling.

In testimony before the Senate Finance Committee, Lew said the hit to the economy would go far beyond the disruption of financial markets that has gotten a lot of attention in recent days.

"Between October 17 and November 1, we have large payments to Medicare providers, Social Security beneficiaries and veterans, as well as salaries for active duty members of the military," he said in prepared remarks. "A failure to raise the debt limit could put timely payment of all of these at risk."

Some critics who have reviewed the 2,300 pages of the proposed "new Constitution" have stated that the document is impenetrable even to those with law degrees. Average citizens "will be unable to understand the laws that govern their lives."

Any doubts Obama is trying to take over America? 

I, among many others, are eyes and ears on the ground.  I have sent up the call.  Those with spiritual understanding will know what I mean.

Officials say House Republicans are offering to pass legislation to avert a default and end the partial government shutdown as part of a package that includes cuts in benefit programs.

...

Among them is a plan to raise the cost of Medicare for better-off beneficiaries.

And how do they define "better-off" beneficiaries... those with any money still left?

If anyone is still so deluded as to think Obama actually cares about the poor, this should extinguish your delusion for good...

The (un)Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare and more truthfully should be called Lucifercare, will fine charitable hospitals that provide healthcare for poor people — for free.

The fines can be as high as $50,000.

After that, Lucifercare — via its minions in the IRS — will remove the nonprofit status from those hospitals. Currently, some 60% of U.S. hospitals are nonprofits.

Of those, a sizeable number are Catholic. 615 Catholic hospitals account for 12.5% of community hospitals in the United States, and over 15.5% of all U.S. hospital admissions.

No one is going to get medical care outside the new system.  Of course, there are cracks in the system and not everyone is going to be able to get coverage.  Where do these people turn?  It reminds me of the movie Independence Day when the President asks the alien, what do you want from us? and the alien says, "Die!"
