As it turns out many R’s have stated they want to sunset SS and Medicare.
R’s heckling last night is more bullshit slinging.

I haven't heard the GOP discuss changes to SS or Medicare for 20 years.
Is this just Jim making shit up again?
A high-level summary of the current SS situation from both sides...
IMO using the debt ceiling as a weapon by the GOP is counter-productive to getting a fair agreement with such thin majorities in the House and Senate...this problem is going to need much more time to resolve, equitably.
I'm also hoping that more discussion...and legislation...is undertaken on ways to provide everyone in the U.S. the opportunity to realize investment gains to go along with SS benefits...starting such programs early and having them transportable would provide significant enhancements to those retirement needs...

Most Republicans lie with impunity. We know this.

What does sunset mean in this context and who is saying it?
We do need to do something about SS, as it sits it will drop to 77% in 2034. I've suggested eliminating the earnings cap.
Agree with you on eliminating earnings gap. How about other income that is now exempt from social
security for those under say 65 also.
Life expectancy was 65 when SS was enacted. It's only reasonable to raise the age of eligibility.
But reasonability and politics are mutually exclusive.
AHOLE hit the button and eff off!

Social security offers a negative return when both employer and employee contributions are considere
d. it should be sunset. It cannot be eliminated overnight, but it can be put on that path. I'm more in favor of a trust established for each baby unavailable until a mandatory retirement of, let's say, 65. I would index it to the GDP and treat it like a pension. Perhaps give each baby $2500 for the first 5 years of their lives and then let it sit and grow over time. $10,000K over 60 years grows to $330K at 6%. I would leave the contribution caps for now but phase out payments based on income from other investments.
I have no issue with medicare and medicaid since it can be supplemented. Which, of course, so can retirements, but the negative return for social security is a scam.
Rick Scott - chair of the GOP senate campaign committee - was quite clear about it in the fall

That was of course was debunked.
Do you only post in Democrat talking points?
Good try (sorta). Here he is this morning.
Scott's statement is the early lead for most disingenuous of 2023...if he would 'never' get rid
of SS and MC...why make those programs have to justify themselves every 5 years...does the Navy have to do that every 5 years? That Republican is w/o question a liar...and should never have the White House as his office...
I think he explains it pretty well, not what you say it is.

Joe Manchin has already proffered a reasonable bi-partisan solution. NO SS cuts/NO MEDICARE cuts.

It’s always a delight in the scratch the back of head moment to
see or read Floridians voting en masse for R’s who quite clearly state - “I’m all for cutting your income and medical care and make you pay more for everything “.
A good bipartisan thing to do is to do the right thing but then R’s just can’t help themselves.
