Joe Biden Saved Social Security
“Some” Republicans (not all, as Joe said) see a big pot of money and they want to spend it. It is called Social Security.) They are Russian MAGA politicians (those who defend and praise Putin).
Joe Biden just ran circles around them to protect it using their venal and disgusting behavior against them. He did it, and “some” Republicans didn't notice.
It isn't that the Republicans want to *END* Social Security; they want to keep making everyone pay into the system, then funnel all of that money into private funds and stocks instead of treasury bonds. They want their big donors, such as banks, Wall Street investment firms and hedge funds, to be able to get a slice of that very big pie.
Of course, doing that would eventually result in less money for seniors and the disabled which will inevitably kill off Social Security entirely. But until they kill the Golden Goose, those Republican donors will profit handsomely, and Republicans will be able to shake their heads and say, “See? We told you that government programs never work.” “Some” point out Donald Trump does not collect social security, which is not true - he does.
In the State of the Union the world saw how Russia’s MAGA politicians have come unhinged but it also showed how stupid they are. Biden mentioned their plans to cash out Social Security and they screamed it is a lie, they would never do that.
HOWEVER – – Sen. Ron Johnson is on record as wanting to authorize Social Security on an annual basis. “Some” go for 5 year sunset laws for ALL programs, including Social Security. Rick Scott from Florida whose tenure as CEO of HCA was marked by settlements of nearly $2 billion in Medicare fraud – the largest fraud settlement in US history. He took the Fifth Amendment 75 times during his deposition. Now he wants to “sunset” Social Security. Sen. Mike Lee, “It will be my objective to phase out Social Security, to pull it up from the roots and get rid of it.”
Biden then said the words that proved he has their number. “Good, I am glad to see your minds have changed on that, so you won't try to take it away this congress” or words to that effect.
Biden pulled a fast one that is probably still to be explained to the Republican idiots like Greene and Boebert. to name two of the more notorious.
