The vast majority of Republicans on Capitol Hill either oppose cuts to Medicare and Social Security, or they avoid the issue like the plague. It SHOULD be an issue that the “fiscally conservative” party talks about more, but Democrats have made it such a toxic topic that President Trump, Speaker Kevin McCarthy, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are all in agreement that the GOP will not touch it.
Why, then, do Democrats continue to claim Republicans are going after the two massive entitlement expenditures? At Tuesday night’s State of the Union speech, Joe Biden continued to gaslight over the issue. Thankfully, some Republicans pushed back. Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene went so far as to scream out “liar” when Biden brought it up.
"Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset. I'm not saying it's the majority," Biden says.

Biden at least acknowledged that it’s not “most” Republicans. He said he had the receipts in the form of a proposal that was sent to him, likely by a handful of Republican lawmakers who rightly pointed out that Medicare and Social Security are unsustainable if reforms are not made immediately. But it’s toxic… and that’s the point.
Why do even lucid and otherwise fiscally responsible Republicans shy away from the important issue? It’s because Democrats desperately NEED them to fail. They NEED the burden of entitlements to cripple American taxpayers and lead this nation towards the inevitable forced adoption of Modern Monetary Theory.
There are only two possible ways to continue Medicare and Social Security. Either we make massive cuts across the board or we print money to cover the expenses. That’s it. The former will be unpopular among lawmakers who know cuts are the easiest way for them to lose elections. The latter would be pure devastation that prompts a complete economic collapse as more nations abandon the U.S. Dollar as the world reserve currency.
I talked about all of this on today’s episode of The JD Rucker Show. I referenced this article below by Mary Margaret Olohan from Daily Signal.
Republicans Erupt, Call Biden ‘LIAR’ Over Medicare Claims
House Republicans booed President Joe Biden on Tuesday evening over the president’s claim that the GOP wants to cut Medicare and Social Security.
“Instead of making the wealthy pay their fair share, some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to sunset every five years,” Biden said. “That means if Congress doesn’t vote to keep them, those programs will go away.”
“Other Republicans say if we don’t cut Social Security and Medicare, they’ll let America default on its debt for the first time in our history,” he added. “I won’t let that happen.”
His remarks elicited a strong reaction from the assembled lawmakers—many of whom can be heard loudly booing.
We’re LIVE and everything is on sale for a limited time! Whole Cows has launched offering freeze-dried beef for long-term storage. Don’t wait for food shortages to get worse. Stock up today. Use promo code “launch15” at checkout for 15% off!
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who had leapt to her feet, can be seen giving the president a thumbs-down.
“Liar,” she yelled.
The House Republicans’ Twitter account similarly denounced Biden’s claim, noting that Speaker Kevin McCarthy has said that “cuts to Medicare and Social Security, they are off the table.”
“Joe Biden is LIAR,” the House Republicans account said on Tuesday evening. And the Republican National Committee’s Twitter account reminded users that “a decade ago, Biden repeatedly stressed the importance of NEGOTIATING the debt limit.”
And former President Donald Trump similarly slammed Biden in a Truth Social post, saying, “He’s lying so much about Social Security, Medicare, and so many other things!”
Joe Biden is LIAR. #SOTU

“Social Security and Medicare are a lifeline for millions of seniors,” Biden continued. “Americans have been paying into them with every single paycheck since they started working. So tonight, let’s all agree to stand up for seniors. Stand up and show them we will not cut Social Security. We will not cut Medicare.”
“Those benefits belong to the American people,” Biden said. “They earned them. If anyone tries to cut Social Security, I will stop them. And if anyone tries to cut Medicare, I will stop them. I will not allow them to be taken away. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever.”

Please stop referring to SS and Medicare as
“entitlement programs”
As an educated professional, I paid a sh*t-load of my hard work $earnings$
( lotta moola) into the system over the many years I worked!!!
Have to agree with the other commenter — this column does devolve to RINOSpeak from time to time!
Peter G. Peterson never served a day of his life in the US military.
He was expelled from college for cheating. (Pre–freak Biden, of course, who became prez for cheating, draft dodging and treason!)
Peterson was co–founder of the Blackstone Group, founded originally with Rockefeller investment seed money —– today the largest private real estate owner (or known owner) in America, maybe the planet.
Peterson diligently worked to offshore all the jobs in America while working to end “entitlement program” of Social Security. A degenerate lowlife! Dismantling the American economy, which THEY succeeded at, is not a noble goal! (His wife was the career producer of Sesame Street, BTW.)
David Rockefeller and Peterson founded the Peterson Institute of International Economics, today called the “Peterson Institute” which favors communist China in all things, works diligently to offshore all jobs and whose favored nominee to head the OCC was Saule Omarova, thankfully rejected!!! (She was also favored by the Federal Reserve, which should explain much!!)
Today the major financial sponsor to Chicom Mitch McConnell is Blackstone Group; his brother–in–law sits on their board. Blackstone Group was the major financial donor to presidential candidate Bill Clinton, and provided his campaign with free office space.
Too much propaganda repeated in the dissolving nation today; too little truth, and there is NO media in America, just paid shills for the National Security State!
One of the easiest ways to save SS and Medicare is to raise the eligibilty age for all people who are under 60 without affecting those already on these programs.
But that would be too simple.
