Ron Johnson and Rick Scott want to end Medicare and SS.

[Penelope]

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said Wednesday that Social Security and Medicare should be up for congressional approval each year, instead of staying under their current status as federal entitlement programs.

“Social Security and Medicare, if you qualify for the entitlement, you just get it no matter what the cost,” Johnson said in an interview that aired Tuesday on “The Regular Joe Show” podcast.

Let the republicans in congress, it will be the end of SS and Medicare as we know it. What would these people in WI and Florida do with Medicare and SS.

Take the SS cap off, it should be there anyway. Medicare is going towards private anyway, they will hike the prices up when a certain % age have Medicare Advantage Plan (private)

Rick Scott defrauded Medicare of billions.

 

[pknopp]

This will go over as well as the Republicans screwing over the veterans.

We have a lot of politicians completely detached from the country.

Rick Scott defrauded Medicare of billions.

You may remember him as the guy who ran the company convicted of the largest Medicare fraud in the history of America, who then took his money and ran for governor of Florida, where he prevented the state from expanding Medicaid for low-income Floridians for all the years he ran the state.

Democrats tout plan to let Medicare negotiate drug prices as boon for seniors, but Scott says it will backfire​

Sen. Rick Scott labels Democrats' social spending bill a 'war on seniors,' calls for hearing

Sen. Rick Scott is opening up the latest line of attack for Republicans against Democrats' spending bill being spearheaded by Manchin -- he says that the bill will hurt seniors.

"This is going to put Medicare recipients in a worse position because… there'll be life-saving drugs that are not developed," Scott told Fox News Digital. "Medicare, the trust fund goes bankrupt in about four years. So it doesn't do anything to make that better."

better to let the seniors pay more than prescriptions.

Medicare Part d charges almost 500 before their plans kick in.

He's a typical republican.

What's the point of new therapies if people can not afford them?

 

[Smokin' OP]

It's been what republicans have wanted to do for decades, end SS and medicare.
Look what they did with pensions and unions.

But the military industrial complex will get their $$$.
NOT necessarily the veterans either.

Such, "patriots".

Intragovernmental Debt​

The Treasury owes this part of the debt to other federal agencies. Intragovernmental holdings totaled more than $6.5 trillion in February 2022.1 Why would the government owe money to itself? Because some agencies, like the Social Security Trust Fund, take in more revenue from taxes than they need. These agencies then invest in U.S. Treasurys rather than stick this cash under a giant mattress,


This transfers the agencies' excess revenue to the general fund, where it's spent. They redeem their Treasury notes for funds as needed. The federal government then either raises taxes or issues more debt to raise the cash.

Current Foreign Ownership of U.S. Debt​

Japan owned $1.32 trillion in U.S. Treasurys in July 2021, making it the largest foreign holder of the national debt. The second-largest holder is China, which owns $1.07 trillion of U.S. debt. Both Japan and China want to keep the value of the dollar higher than the value of their own currencies. This helps to keep their exports to the U.S. affordable, which helps their economies grow.10


China replaced the U.K. as the second-largest foreign holder in 2006 when it increased its holdings to $699 billion.11


The U.K. is the third-largest holder with $579.8 billion. Its holdings have increased in rank as Brexit continues to weaken its economy. Ireland is next, holding $324.3 billion. Luxembourg, Switzerland, Cayman Islands, Brazil, Taiwan, and France round out the top 10.12

Who Owns the US National Debt?

The majority of the U.S. national debt is owned by Social Security, the Federal Reserve, and foreign investors. Learn how that impacts the economy and you.

I know. I worked for him. When I met him after he took over I knew he was a perfect bastard.

Dems, the party of scaring old people.

When they start talking (insert gop politician here) is going to defund medicare and/or SS you know they are in desperation mode.

When the republican's start taking away our Medicare and SS checks, what are you going to do about it. Thats the plan. You heard it from 2 Senators and most of republicans feel the same way.

Rick Scott got a huge golden parachute plus 10 million towards legal fees. He's far worse than most Republicans.

Sounds like BS to me but I'll say this, anyone on Medicaid or SS disability should be reviewed every year.....Able-bodied people are scamming the tax-payer out of billions every year.

She is writing about Medicare and Social Security for Seniors at a retiring age and not Medicaid and Social Security Disability Insurance.

Big difference and if I remember correctly People are reviewed periodically on SSDI and Medicaid .

Both programs suck. Bad Libtard ideas.

We need to phase out both of them.

Not really. But there are many who will look you in the eye and tell you how good you have it.
