Should Social Security and Medicare be Put on the Chopping Block?

[Betone]

So, it's too old? That makes me a liar? You going to run through the other Republican Senators I listed off or are those too old?

I do not believe the republican party will pass a bill to whip out SS benefits even if a few senators said they would be for it. No way in hell its EVER going to be that easy. How many fucking lies are spoken in the course of a campaign year from BOTH sides. We have the worst President in Biden of our Countries history at the helm and democrats are scared shit less. That's what's REALLY going on now.

Every candidate in my lifetime yaps about all the great things they will do once in office. It's simply amazing how NONE OF THEM can manage to uphold those promises. EVER!!!

The good news? Even if Biden is the worst ever, our lives are pretty good. No one here is jumping off a cliff.

I don't think SS is going anywhere. BUT, when we start having more taking out, than putting in, well........that will be interesting.

We will have to cross that bridge when it happens, I think the next two years are going to be interesting....:0003

If they aren't going to do anything, why would they even bring it up? I don't give a crap if I need that money or not, I have paid in my entire adult life and so has my wife, that money is ours to collect. These fuckheads in the Republican Party just gave away all our money to the most wealthy people in the country and now I have to pay? Fuck that. That "economic miracle" was supposed to pay for itself, but it cost us $2T instead. You think that $2T would help? I do. They are telling you what they are going to do LISTEN!

House GOP eyes Social Security, Medicare amid spending battle

Republicans have pledged to cut spending and balance the budget, triggering a delicate conversation on the future of Americans’ benefits

 

[yyz]

I wouldn't worry too much. When have they ever kept a promise?

I'm not worried, but I wouldn't mind seeing the suckers that vote for these guys get a heaping helping of what the Republicans are trying to serve up.

 

[THE KOD]

They want to vote on whether to continue it and other entitlements! With a vote, these fuckers can take away my right to all the programs we've been paying into for decades.

arent these the same guys that borrowed 50-100 million from Social Security and never paid it back.

Find a way to pay that back and maybe we can talk.

And they had no problem spending money when Trump was in office......or raising the debt ceiling.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

I'm not surprised only you and yyz would give this fabrication enough credit to vote.

To try and end ssn or Medicare would be suicide for either party. It just isn't going to happen. Only thing safer is welfare:0003

 

[yyz]

I'm pretty sure I said I'm not worried.

At any rate, I don't know why you consider it fabrication, when several Republicans have talked about it. Unless you're referring to the fact that these scumbags constantly lie?

 

[pd1]

Way yup go yyz, I heard it several times myself. First from Scott from Florida, and then several others. First every year and then after being ridiculed said well every 5 years social security and medicare needs to come up for review and voted on.

Are you saying that Republicans are not talking openly about cutting these entitlement programs?

 

[yyz]

Are you saying that Republicans are not talking openly about cutting these entitlement programs?

He's not saying it, he's ignoring it.

The one thing these guys can never deny, is that they live their life same every day, regardless of who is in the WH.

It must just feel good to bitch constantly.

 

[WhatsHisNuts]

Good news for all of us. Biden led the Republicans into a trap on national television to protect Social Security and Medicare. That old bastard is gaining more and more of my respect. :toast:

This thread and all of its contents including a 12 year old vid of a Senator speaking at what looks like a bar is total Left wing trash BS........

Kudos Betone Glad to see there are few left on this site that can see the obvious But there are some

• Senator Rick Scott's Plan to Rescue America came out months ago and this is part of the plan.
  • There is a thread in this forum all about it
• Senator Mike Lee is on video saying that's what he's going to do.
  • See my last post IN THIS THREAD
• Minority Leader McCarthy is going to use the debt limit to hold the government hostage until he gets the cuts through
  • https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/10/18/mccarthy-gop-medicare-social-security/
• Senator Ron Johnson wants to vote to cut these "entitlements"
• Senator Lindsay Graham wants to reform these "entitlements"

Reminder for Wayne.....it isn't just the video from 12 years ago of a Republican senator saying he wants to cut the exact thing you claim he doesn't. This is all in this thread.
