No Republican is opting to cut Medicare or SS. Having a discussion about the two is not supporting any cuts.
You’re really splitting hairs. Romney, Ryan, Mitch, Thune, Lindsey and the House Republican study committee have all called for cutting social security and Medicare. That’s a fact. Calling advocacy a “discussion” is to live in denial.
There is no other subject that proves how addictive and ingrained communism gets. Socialism security turns otherwise conservative people into raging leftwing commies.
The subject is untouchable. It’s nuts.
