So. If GOP Takes Over in 2023. It's The End Of Social Security, Medicare, ect. Really? Are all Americans That Stupid To Believe This?

Does the left bring this up every time we have an election? If republicans win, they will put a stop to social security and the other benefits seniors have a right to? And what does congress have to do with Social Security matters anyway? It's as the left thinks that over 75% us have an I.Q. lower than the average turkey or gerbil.

The left wing aren't the ones talking about it. It's the right wingers talking about it...every election cycle. Now, unless they have control of both the House and Senate with veto override majority, it won't go anywhere. But there are Republicans who want to privatize it....which would be a complete disaster.

Talk about IQ's have you looked at yours lately?

While Congress does not set the amount of benefits we pay each year, they decide funding for our administrative budget. Our administrative budget provides resources to administer Social Security and SSI programs as well as certain aspects of the Medicare program.

Congress can decide to review funding every 5 years if Rick Scott gets his way.

There's a minority that have convinced themselves that their TV's would NEVER lie to them, and they will believe anything.

But no, most Americans know better.

Please note that the only time they really bring this up is conveniently just before an election, when it might be politically useful.

Even if the GOP did take control of both Houses of Congress and did such things, Biden is still the prez and would veto it. Plus, it would be the end of the Republican Party, so IOW that ain't gonna happen. BUT - yeah there are plenty of people out there that would believe it to be true. If CNN says it, then it must be true.

Oh, look someone who sits their fat ass on the internet all day disagreed that congress does have something to do with ss. It would be the death of them with the majority of senior's if they ever did change funding.

No, it is a small minority.

Progs know there are issues. And Progs have made statements on Social Security and Medicare. But the reporting on it ends at the news/entertainment desk. Every program that does not get the annual increase they want Progs spout tens of millions will die.

75% may be an underestimation if you are any example (just kidding of course):

• 158 out of 212 House Republicans, including top GOP leadership Members Whip Scalise and Chair Stefanik, have called for slashing and privatizing Social Security, raising the retirement age to 70 and ending Medicare as we know it as part of the Republican Study Committee FY2023 budget.
• Top GOP Senator Rick Scott continues to push Senate Republicans’ plan to terminate Social Security and Medicare after five years.
• Senior GOP Senator Ron Johnson called for putting Social Security and Medicare on the chopping block for Republicans to slash at will every year.

It is actually about 40% of Americans

The other side of the coin is: "If the Democrats get power, they're going to confiscate your guns!"

Both sides could use some new material.
