Are you saying that GOP leaders haven’t regularly called for cutting Social Security? Wake up.

Mitch McConnell Calls for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid Cuts After Passing Tax Cuts, Massive Defense Spending
BY NICOLE GOODKIND ON 10/16/18 AT 2:47 PM EDT
After instituting a $1.5 trillion tax cut and signing off on a $675 billion budget for the Department of Defense, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the only way to lower the record-high federal deficit would be to cut entitlement programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security.
The debt, he said, was very “disturbing” and driven by “the three big entitlement programs that are very popular, Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid.… There’s been a bipartisan reluctance to tackle entitlement changes because of the popularity of those programs. Hopefully, at some point
President Donald Trump promised to leave Medicare untouched on the campaign trail, but Republican leaders like House Speaker Paul Ryan and Florida Senator Marco Rubio have long indicated their desire to cut entitlement programs to pay for their tax cuts.
The troll must think we all have dementia like Joe and have no idea what’s really going on. ;-)
That granny looks deader than if she was shipped to a nursing home during a pandemic to catch a deadly disease to which she is most vulnerable.
Is this before or after Republicans push grandma in her wheelchair off a cliff into the path of an oncoming train?
Oh an article by Newsweek. Are there any in News Weak about the democrat governors who shipped the elderly into nursing homes during a pandemic where they DIED in huge numbers.
Wonder how much they cared about social security.
See my point there troll. The democrats have a ton to answer for when it comes to the elderly. The dems complaining about social security as an issue is like Jack the Ripper complaining about the laundry service failing to get the blood stains out of his clothes.
Troll on!!
Biden has been saying this the last few months. The last several decades, actually.
Rick Scott gave them fuel some months ago by suggesting SS and Medicare should expire if not reauthorized and funded by Congress. That would make anyone mad.
A list of lefty sites that had the vapors over privitization. You are a troll carrying water for Democrats.
Primer on President Bush’s “Plan” for Social Security Privatization
Exactly my first thought....EVERY ELECTION!
This was contrived by the DNC and given to their pals, the Yahoos. It’s a stunt they do over and over, Seen it ever since Goldwater.
Never having produced one how would they know?
Please be kind to the troll. He is probably tired from spending his day like all democrats do. You know, figuring out a way to kill the elderly. If only there was a pandemic or something that would come along so they could use it to kill the elderly. If only.
Here we go with the typical scare-the-seniors BS.
You willing to bet the bank on people like McConnell, McCarthy, Scott, and the rest?
The GOPe is looking for ways to throw the election and this may be it.
WTF! Cut your and Government Pensions, Healthcare and all other benefits first!
“Y’all posting in a troll thread.”
Yup, and cut all the Federal Government’s benefits before they cut citizens’ benefits.
I hear they're working on a new one as the last didn't kill enough of them.
Given the current prices of gas, this is some expensive gaslighting project.
Even if McCarthy believes in this no way Jao would sign it.
It’s not only DOA, it’s DRT.
