Biden: Republicans Want to Get Rid of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid
Cybercast News Service ^ | June 14, 2022 | 12:39pm EDT | Melanie Arter

President Biden told union workers at the AFL-CIO convention in Philadelphia, that Republicans want to get rid of Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid based on a proposal by National Republican Senatorial Conference Chairman Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), which calls for all federal legislation to sunset in five years.

“All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again,” Scott’s proposal states. […]

Biden attributed Scott’s proposal to the Republican Party despite Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-S.C.) saying months ago that such a proposal will not be part of the Republican agenda.

“Let me tell you what will not be a part of our agenda: We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare after five years. That will not be part of the Republican Senate majority agenda,” McConnell said at a GOP leadership meeting on April 28. […]

“Every five years, it would be put on the chopping block, every five years, and if it’s not reinstated by a vote in the Senate of 60 or more, guess what? It automatically goes out of existence. That’s what they’re proposing. Unless the Congress affirmatively votes to bring them back into existence. Think about that,” Biden said. …

Meanwhile, the last time there was no SS COLA increase was . . .

I listen to Steve Bannon every day on War Room for 4 hours and he literally never mentions these issues. There’s no interest in MAGA-land in these issues. None.

The government needs to get out of all the areas of involvement in out lives that are not enumerated in the Constitution.

Scare tactics always work

That's why they constantly use them. It's their number one tool in the kit.

You have to wonder why Rick Scott thought it was a good idea to throw this crap out there, in an election year especially. For decades the democrats scared old people with the “ending medicare” story. Only now there is some basis for it. Expect Biden and many other rats to crow about this all the way to November. Thanks Rick, brilliant move.

A real senate minority leader would demand Joe Biden withdraw this remark and apologize or say bye bye to any republican votes for the latest “gun control” bill.

I wonder why McConnell won’t do it.

Biden’s a fool and a crook and a liar. Guess he’s ticked off he can’t get his 10% skim anymore.

Biden’s so demented he’s running Democrat propaganda from the 80s.

I first heard it in the 50s. It’s a democrat staple.

“Why can we run out of money for Social Security but not welfare?”

We will never run out of printed money for any government spending. However, Through the magic of inflation, the money spent on these programs will not meet the expectations of those program recipients.

We are effectively broke. We no longer have the option of paying off our national debt or funding future program liabilities.

What Biden actually said is that we are going to hyperinflation until benefit checks are worthless.

Everyone here has a point. Biden, McConnell, and Rick Scott.

The Federal Government is using to many resources, ie money.

We need to do something with social programs and we need to consider the EPA, National School Board, education department, arts, ATF, FBI, most of the DOJ, maybe the IRS as we know it now, as being broken up or eliminated. No State department grant money.

We need to consider limiting lifetime Welfare benefits to 5 years from ages 18-68. Then, for every year of Federal support it adds another year to retirement age for Medicare and Social security. We need to eliminate anyone for those programs that requires federal support while an immigrant.
We need to return power to the states for Medicaid services, no federal grants or money. People who are involved with illegal drugs loose forever any government benefits except Medicare and social security.

Federal Government taxes can only be From Tariffs, FLAT income tax. Everybody will feel the weight of Federal government.

All of this would happen, without much fuss, if the Nation passed a balanced budget Amendment.
