As of August 3, 2011, in the USA, Social Security Recipients ...

...won't be able to pay their rent, purchase groceries or medications and have air conditioning to keep themselves cool in this blistering heat.

How long does anyone believe they will last? 

There is no State or City prepared for these dynamics.

President Obama said today that Social Security Checks would stop after August 3, 2011.

Isn't that the goal of the Regressives? 

Don't they think of every dependent person in the country as 'baggage,'  trouble, lazy or any combination of the three?  Isn't that the truth regardless of what they say?  Why else would they be unwilling to see the folly of the Bush Tax Cuts, especially in disproportion to the wealthy.

They're responsible for giving space shuttle Atlantis enough power to escape the gravitational pull of the Earth.
Crew onboard the Freedom Star has been out at sea since Thursday.
The rocket boosters separate from the external tank a few miles after liftoff and fall into the ocean. They're retrieved about 150 miles out at sea.
