The following clip was posted on the cbs news website, more of the interview expected to air tonight: Scott Pelley: Can you tell the folks at home no matter what happens that Social Security checks are going to go out on August the 3rd? There are about 20 billion dollars of Social Security checks that have to go out the day after the government is supposed to go into default. Obama: Well this is not just a matter of Social Security checks, these are veterans checks, these are folks on disability, their checks. There are about 70 million checks that go out -- Scott Pelley: Can you guarantee as President those checks will go out on August the 3rd? Obama: I can not guarantee those checks go out on August 3rd if we haven't resolved this issue because there may simply not be the money in the coffers to do it.

To: Brian S (#0) The government is expected to collect $179 billion in revenue in August. Interest on the debt, Social Security, Medicare, and salaries for the troops add up to $143 billion. That's leaves $36 billion left for August. $36 billion is a lot of money. The remaining things will have to be prioritized to fit into the $36 billion. It's just that simple. jwpegler  posted on  2011-07-13   11:15:40 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #23.

We could only hope since they've already got room and board. mininggold  posted on  2011-07-13   11:18:15 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #24. To: mininggold (#23) (Edited) Salaries for the troops might also be late. You're not listening again, as usual. I just told you that we can still pay the interest on the debt, Social Security, Medicare, and salaries for the troops in August and have $36 billion left over to pay for other things. This is an old Democrat tactic to scare people by focusing cuts in areas that really hurt instead of areas that almost no one will miss. It's used at the local level all of the time, e.g. "if you don't raise taxes, we'll have to lay off police and firemen". The GOP should immediately pass a law which states that if the debt ceiling isn't raised, the White House must prioritize paying the interest on the debt, Social Security, Medicare, and military salaries. The cuts have to come from somewhere else. That would take the teeth out of the Democrat fear mongering. jwpegler  posted on  2011-07-13   11:24:24 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   #26.

After Arnold was elected governor, he brought Jeb Bush's Florida budget analyst on board to root out waste in the budget. Cost a lot of money and that's about all. lucysmom  posted on  2011-07-13   11:51:34 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 31.         There are no replies to Comment # 31.
