home that noter no matter what happens, the social security checks will go out on august 3rd, that have to go out the day after the government is going to go into default. these are veterans checks and folks on disability and their checks. there are about 70 million checks that go out every month. can you guarantee as president those checks will go out on august 3rd. i cannot guarantee that those checks go out on august 3rd if we haven t resolve this issue because there may not simply be the money the cofferes to do it. senator minority leader mitch mcconnell called the president s vision smoke and mirrors. with both parties in standoff with cuts to entitlement items, he is proposing a backup plan,
