Cuts to SS and Medicare

[Penelope]

Rick Scott​

“All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years. If a law is worth keeping, Congress can pass it again,” the document said.

This would require Congress to renew Social Security and Medicare every five years. Scott’s proposal also called for a yearly report from Congress “telling the public what they plan to do when Social Security and Medicare go bankrupt.”

Mike Pence​

Former Vice President Mike Pence, who has indicated that he is considering a bid for the presidency in 2024, said last week that a conversation needs to be had about reforming Social Security.

Mike Lee​

When Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) initially ran for Senate in 2010, he called for the complete elimination of Social Security.

“It will be my objective to phase out Social Security, to pull it up by the roots and get rid of it,” Lee said at a campaign event in 2010, adding, “There’s going to be growing pains associated with doing this. We can’t do it all at once.”

Ron Johnson​

Similar to Scott, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has suggested that Congress regularly renew the entitlement programs. However, Johnson has proposed that it be done on an annual basis.

“I’ve been saying for as long as I’ve been here that we should transfer everything, put everything on budget so we have to consider it if every year. I’ve said that consistently, it’s nothing new,” Johnson told “The Regular Joe Show” podcast last August.

Lindsey Graham​

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) suggested in a debate in June that a bipartisan compromise on the issue will likely mean that “people like me are going to have to take a little less and pay a little more in.”

No one wants to take away your social security and medicaid

But those programs should be part of any effort to reign in our runaway federal deficit

Exactly. SS is easy to fix. Raise the cap, and add a year to the ages,
The SS fix is tougher.

My recommendation is to add a new Federal Sales Tax of about 4%. I don't see any other way to raise enough money.
Also, I want to see another "Grace Commission" to eliminate waste, and duplication in the Federal government.

FLASHBACK: Biden introduced bill to sunset all federal programs — including Social Security

"It’s telling that Joe Biden used his State of the Union speech to lie about my plan. If Biden had a single accomplishment to speak of, he wouldn’t have to lie about me," Scott said.
"I don’t have a bill to cut Social Security and Medicare, but Joe Biden did," he continued.

Before State of Union attack on GOP, Biden pushed Social Security sunset, fed spending freezes

In 1995, Biden complained on the Senate floor that his 1975 efforts to sunset all federal programs never made it out of Congress.
“When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security as well, I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans benefits. I meant every single solitary thing in the government,” he said.
“And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice. I tried it the third time, and I tried it the fourth time,” Biden bragged.

How do you know a Marxist/Democrat is lying? Their mouths are open....

Of course if you do away with welfare, then more people would be working, thus putting money into the tax system. Those that dont want to work, dont get a dime, and when they get hungry and start stealing from others, should be shot on sight, thus eliminating them from other government programs like being put in prison and such. Empty the prisons of repeat offenders, by execution and you can start putting that money towards SS. Really easy to get the debt under control, just stop all the liberal compassion laws that end up killing people.

We do need reform for SSI, it is going going to run out of money and my kids and grandkids will have paid in for nothing. What that looks like we as a nation need to look at.

As long as there is not bipartisan support nothing will pass, so your can quit fear mongering.

Medicare is 1.45% for the employer and 1.45% for the employee, or 2.9% total.

why ,do the more you make, you get .9% of medicare, why isn't it 1.45% for the employee or total 2.9% total?

• Single: $200,000
• Married filing jointly: $250,000
• Married filing separately: $125,000

What is this SS cap.2022=147,000
2023=160,200

Biden doubled down on his legislation in the '90s, saying on the Senate floor that his bill would affect Social Security.

"When I argued that we should freeze federal spending, I meant Social Security, as well," Biden said. "I meant Medicare and Medicaid. I meant veterans’ benefits."

"I meant every single solitary thing in the federal government," he said. "And I not only tried it once, I tried it twice, I tried it a third time, and I tried it a fourth time."

FREEZE, NOT sunset, or eliminate.
Programs would still be viable.

why isn't it 1.45% for the employee or total 2.9% total?

why are the paying 0.9%?

 

[initforme]

The wealthy corporatists want people working harder and longer. Just imagine another 4.5 million people retiring this year like during the pandemic. Imagine how that revs up the economy and opens up jobs.

Again I don’t know and it should be fair but you are against the Republicans want to discuss SSI and Medicare reform. Why is that? If we don’t we are all going to lose those benefits in a decade or so.

That is what he said, and it was a lie.
