Golly. A story like this? Coming out right before the mid-terms? I wonder if anyone is trying to scare the old folks???
The GOP may one day run out of feet to shoot themselves in.
Oh lookey here. Another “Republicans plan to hurt old people” article just before the mid-terms.
Sorry, Yahoo, they can’t hurt the old people, the democrats already fed them into the wood chipper of nursing homes during Covid.
Lies
We need to chop the budget to 1/10 what it is today, and lay off the majority of federal workers.
I think this is bullchip, The GOP is stupid, but not this stupid.
“The GOP says we can’t afford Social Security. But we CAN afford foreign aid and billions for Ukraine.”
Kevin McCarthy signals Republicans could withhold more aid to Ukraine if they win the House: ‘It’s not a free blank check’

And the GOP is going to finally, FINALLY, push granny in the wheelchair off that cliff!!!
You’re being sarcastic, right? If not, you’re easily fooled by the leftist media. Shame on you.
NON discretionary Transfer Payments is 3/4 of the Federal budget.
$100 B. to Criminals in Ukraine pales in comparison to all of the spending on auto-pilot.
There is no SS “Trust Fund”, It’s been spent.
So, devalue, inflate, then War, then confiscate Gold, then issue the “New” currency.
(Why do you think Billy bought all that farmland?)
It’s not like they haven’t done this to the people before.
AFAIK Social Security has always been a fund separate from the national debt.

Q1. Which political party took Social Security from the independent trust fund and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A1: There has never been any change in the way the Social Security program is financed or the way that Social Security payroll taxes are used by the federal government. The Social Security Trust Fund was created in 1939 as part of the Amendments enacted in that year. From its inception, the Trust Fund has always worked the same way. The Social Security Trust Fund has never been “put into the general fund of the government.”
Most likely this question comes from a confusion between the financing of the Social Security program and the way the Social Security Trust Fund is treated in federal budget accounting. Starting in 1969 (due to action by the Johnson Administration in 1968) the transactions to the Trust Fund were included in what is known as the “unified budget.” This means that every function of the federal government is included in a single budget. This is sometimes described by saying that the Social Security Trust Funds are “on-budget.” This budget treatment of the Social Security Trust Fund continued until 1990 when the Trust Funds were again taken “off-budget.” This means only that they are shown as a separate account in the federal budget. But whether the Trust Funds are “on-budget” or “off-budget” is primarily a question of accounting practices—it has no effect on the actual operations of the Trust Fund itself.
“There you go again,” Uncle Ronald Reagan.
Anytime anywhere if the democrats are about to be defeated ….. this is the story the media runs with ….
October surprise fake news to suppress the red wave.
From the old Dem playbook. Republicans want to take away your SS and Medicare. It is brought up every election cycle for decades.
Just waiting for the video of Grandma in her wheel chair being shoved over a cliff.
LMAO
must be near an election!!!
because once again Republican boogiemen are going to end social security, medicare, Medicaid, and usually the civil rights act so we can enslave the blacks again.
LMAO
“But we CAN afford foreign aid and billions for Ukraine.”
Don’t forget the illegals that are on SS>
