Republicans are hopping mad-- saying that Joe Biden LIED in his State of the Union speech, when he said some Republicans want to sunset Social Security and Medicare. Looks like they are upset at being caught red-handed.
GOP Senator Rick Scott issued an 11-point plan last year, outlining his goal of sunsetting Social Security and Medicare and forcing a vote to re-establish them every 5 years. Scott's plan forced Senator Mitch McConnell to say, "We will not have as part of our agenda a bill that raises taxes on half the American people and sunsets Social Security and Medicare within five years. That will not be part of the Republican Senator majority agenda."
In a debate last year, GOP Senator Lindsey Graham said that entitlement programs (like Social Security and Medicare) would be on the chopping block if the GOP won a Senate majority in 2022. "Entitlement reform is a must for us to not become Greece," Graham said in the debate. By "reform," he means cutting benefits and disqualifying people.
