Exclusive – PENCE PUSHES Republicans to Back Social Security, Medicare Reform
Breitbart ^ | 2/19/2023 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 02/19/2023 12:06:18 PM PST by AnthonySoprano

Former Vice President Mike Pence has a different view than other Republicans such as House Speaker Kevin McCarthy or former President Donald Trump when it comes to Social Security and Medicare: Pence is pushing Republicans to back big-scale changes to the programs to address long-term solvency concerns.

“To have a national debt larger than our national economy is unsustainable,” Pence told Breitbart News. “The time will come when we have to produce leadership in this country that will be straight with the American people... “

LINDSEY GRAHAM AND PENCE are for paying Pensions to Ukrainians, but want to usher in Cuts and changes for the American people!

What’s wrong with this picture? Pence’s staff goes around with Ukrainian Flag Pins.

What Country has survived while prioritizing the Health and Welfare of another Country over their own citizens?

Pence is working for Republican opposition. There simply is no way to dialogue on SS reform. Period. Don’t touch it or mess with it.

Don’t even think about it until the border invasion is checked.....basically they want to cut so illegals can get welfare they’ve just brought in.

Start with cutting back on Churchill in a hoodie

Then have JB sell all of his multi million dollar I’ll gotten homes

Then close the border

FR has a no cursing policy so I can’t say these things the way I might say them if I were to give in to bad habits

I can’t stand that cheap word “reform.”

Already crooked politicians use it to make their next ploy sound like a noble thing as “reform.”

To us it means higher taxes, lobbyists get richer and the politician gains power to call in more favors next time.

Pence

Vote Pence Post in 2024

I’m not saying that SS & Medicare should not be addressed,
but I would let it happen at a lot lower level than the
number one issue of the day.

Pence is elevating this to the point it will be used
against Republicans. He and his big mouth just made it
a red bulls-eye.

He thinks he’s politically asstoot. He is.

If Congress is going to cut Social Security and Medicare, they will also need to do more to encourage employers to hire back workers that get aged out of companies.

Age discrimination continues to be a problem.

Dems mouse trapped Republicans back in the 90s on Soc.Sec. reform.

Dems said they wanted to set up a bi-partisan commission to study reform.

Republicans agreed to serve on the commission.

Dems immediately accused Republicans of wanting to cut Soc.Sec. Nothing came of the commission, it was just an ambush dreamed up by Dems.

Dems have to take the lead on any reforms, and they need to spell out the particulars, otherwise it’s just another political ambush.

Man I heard on a call-in show: I worked and paid into a system without my consent, indirectly by allowing elected officials to take office, and I have to wait for a benefit someday in the future but a guy entering across the border illegally gets Social Security and other benefits the next day.

Thats right. Just keep kicking that can down the road until the problem gets worse and worse because no one has any courage to fix it.

True.

Schumer and others will once again all say day and night “The Republicans are going to take away your Social Security benefits that you worked and paid to get. We will protect you from them.”

Pence must be in on the Ukie take as well.

With all those grubby hands in the till, no wonder Zelvis keeps demanding more money.

because it can’t be fixed. It will go until its bankrupt. That is the only outcome for SS.

Why?

Because our political system cannot fix government entitlements. Its not set up that way.

Looks like the feds got the goods with the recent raids. They gave him his script and this is it.
