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.

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!!
