President Biden, while still a senator for Delaware, introduced legislation to sunset all federal programs, including Social Security and Medicare, Fox News Digital has learned.
In 1975, while Biden was in the upper chamber of Congress, the now-president put forward a bill requiring all federal programs to sunset after four years.
When pushing his bill as a senator, Biden said "it requires every program to be looked at freshly at least once every four years."
"The examination is not just of the increased cost of the program, but of the worthiness of the entire program," the president said in 1975.
Biden doubled down on his legislation in the 90s, saying on the Senate floor that his bill would affect Social Security.
"When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security, as well," Biden said. "I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits."
"I meant every single solitary thing in the federal government," Biden said. "And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time."
Senator Rick Scott, R-Fla., accused Biden of lying about his legislative plans in a Wednesday statement to Fox News Digital.
"It’s telling that Joe Biden used his State of the Union speech to lie about my plan. If Biden had a single accomplishment to speak of, he wouldn’t have to lie about me," Scott said.
"I don’t have a bill to cut Social Security and Medicare, but Joe Biden did," he continued.

Makes you wonder if, when he was spewing that crap about the Republicans last night, if FJB had some thought akin to “where have I heard that before?” as it came out of his lying pudding hole . . .
Figures. Whatever he accuses you of, he’s done.
Biden and Obama were in the White House when the Multiemployer Pension Reform Act was passed, cutting earned pensions up to 75%.
He’ll blame that on Trump too
Is it ok to hate this “human” with such a seething passion that you want him to die horribly?
Asking for a friend.
No, but...

BUSTED again

Am I supposed to believe there are 80 million people in America stupid enough to vote for him?
That is a whole lot of stupid . . .
