Here ya go and of course they haven’t done it yet, but just like the things the theocratic court would never do…..

1. Top House Republican Kevin McCarthy Hints at Cuts

During a recent interview with Punchbowl News, top House Republican Kevin McCarthy made clear he wanted to cut spending. He did not specifically mention Social Security or Medicare, but they are among the biggest parts of the federal budget and have long been a target of Republicans. McCarthy explained that spending cuts were necessary to reduce the national debt, but his party also wants to extend the Trump tax cuts, which are already on pace to add nearly $2 trillion to the deficit.

2. Influential House Republicans Threaten to Use the Debt Ceiling to Make Cuts to the Programs

The week before McCarthy’s interview, the four Republicans fighting to serve as House Budget Committee Chairman in the next Congress told Bloomberg Government that they would use the debt ceiling deadline to force cuts to programs Democrats support, such as Social Security and Medicare.

“Our main focus has got to be on nondiscretionary—it’s got to be on entitlements,” such as Social Security and Medicare, Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.) said.

The Republicans told Blomberg they wanted to increase the eligibility age for both programs and/or reduce benefits for some wealthier Americans. Rep. Kevin Hern of Oklahoma explicitly stated that the debt ceiling deadline is “obviously a leverage point” for achieving their goals.

Raising the eligibility age is “the worst way to cut benefits,” according to Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College.

“It hurts most the people who can’t work any longer. These are people with less education and physically harder jobs. They get stuck with lower benefits for the rest of their lives,” she told Politifact.

3. Sen. Ron Johnson Said Social Security and Medicare Should Be Renegotiated Every Single Year

Over the summer, Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson straight up came out and said Social Security and Medicare should not be guaranteed—as they currently are—and should instead be negotiated by Congress every single year. Johnson, who is running for a third term in November, made his comments during an interview on the Regular Joe Show, hosted by Joe Giganti.

Speaking on the program, Johnson argued that mandatory programs like Social Security and Medicare should be reformed and fall under “discretionary spending”—which means Congress could cut funding for them or eliminate them altogether.

4. Sen. Rick Scott Said Social Security and Medicare Should Be Renegotiated Every Five Years

In February, Florida Sen. Rick Scott released his “Plan to Rescue America,” a grab-bag of extreme policies, including a proposal to “sunset” all federal legislation in five years, requiring Congress to re-authorize every federal law, including those governing Medicare and Social Security. This would ease the path for Republicans to ultimately kill them.

5. 157 House Republicans Backed Cuts to the Programs

The Republican Study Committee (RSC)—a group of 157 House Republicans—this year released its “Blueprint to Save America,” where they propose raising the eligibility ages for Medicare and Social Security and withholding payments to those who retired early and earned over a certain amount, effectively making cuts to the program.

The RSC isn’t some fringe group; it includes 74% of House Republicans, including North Carolina Senate nominee Ted Budd, who’s previously voted for cuts to Medicare and Social Security, voted to raise the retirement age, and recently hinted he might vote for cuts to the programs in the future.

6. Sen. Lindsey Graham Called Reforming Social Security and Medicare a “Must”

Finally, we come to South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who in June said “entitlement reform is a must” and suggested he’s open to changing the income cap and eligibility age for programs like Social Security and Medicare.

jim understands that pete’s “examples” state that McCarthy never specified social security or medicare.

i asked for examples of republicans who are on record for saying they’ll do what you accuse them
of. seems like you ought o be able to provide some examples if you didn’t make it up.

SS needs to be modified, it’s bleeding money. raising age requirements and telling zillionaires they won’t get benefits, might save SS.

Wayne, are you aware that SS will be bankrupt in our lifetimes? what would you do about it?

meinst see one example, ZERO, of proposed gutting of SS.

i’m not eligible until I’m 67.5, that’s older than my parents. minimum ages have been increased before.

Wayne i know you’re in a union, and you therefore have been told that pensions can be funded with hugs and folk songs, but it ain’t so.

When will
florida children start getting slaughtered? that’s what the gop wants to do right? kill kids and eliminate SS and medicare.

I wish Pres Trump announced last night in Ohio, but he chose to put everyone else first.

He’s held 30 rallies in 17 states, hosted 43 telerallies & 52 candidate fundraisers, & endorsed 285 candidates while being politically persecuted.

He’s put everyone else first all along.


Keep denying your not a MAGA lover :faga:

whos worried? just more of the same Hypocritical nonsense from the right..

Next hey will be saying their going to fix inflation and lower gas Prices
by investigating Hunter .. and you'll Heal like a good dog :rolleyes:

McCarthy never specified social security or medicare. or any policy if you want to be 100% correct

And keep your head in the sand GOP policies don't kill children ..

Ask the parents of the children from uvalde .. how they like Abbotts wild wild west Gun policies

Jim you’ll be all set, with Republicans denying women the right to make their own reproductive decisions, there will be a dramatic increase of children born into untenable financial circumstances. This undoubtedly will increase the number of women who will need to move back in with their parents. And, with Republicans promising to kill social security, this will put many seniors in difficult financial circumstances, resulting in seniors needing to move in with their adult children. So this cruel combination of Republican priorities pretty much guarantees painful and harmful circumstances for wide swaths of the population.

pete, what’s your opinion of the poll you shared recently, that showed Crist winning?

would you rather be born into untenable financial circumstances, or be slaughtered? me and my brothers were born into rough financial circumstances. But it was a lot better than being slaughtered.

If women don’t want to raise the baby, there’s this thing called “adoption” that liberals never, ever mention. No one has to raise a baby. Nobody. There’s a huge waiting list of desperate people who
want a baby.

Look it up. It’s true!

How was Crists acceptance speech? Was it good?

You’ll be ok. Probably not a red tsunami. Just a normal pendulum
swing to the right. Probably.

did democracy die? :scream:

what it IS Sherlock, is the video of the interview that you continue to insist is being taken out of context.....it doesn't matter who posted it or commented on it on twitter...it is the video of the interview....good grief

correct.

wayne, are you suggesting that video is fake?

first you said i took it out of context. so i ask you for the proper context, and you respond by questioning the source.


Have you even watched the video? probably not, yet you know i took it out of context.

not even CLOSE to a red wave.

it's a start....it's going to be a dark winter for dark brandon....

i dunno. if the gop couldn’t triumph with democrats delivering these results, when can we?

it was a terrible night for trump candidates.

in GA, the gop and the stupid libertarians need to make friends. this will be two senate elections in a row the libertarians took away from the gop. i can’t see walker competing in a runoff without Kemp on the ballot to bolster him.

and there’s literally no reason to look at polls anymore.

Average house seat pick up in the mid term is a big number, add high inflation, high gas and food prices, low approval ratings and we should have seen the big red wave Fox and those drinking their coolaid (go Scott), when does the Republican Party finally divorce itself from Trump and the crazy? Oh yeah, other than Florida, the red Latino wave didn’t happen either.

i’m just asking, not mocking, what’s the data on how hispanics voted?

terrible night for trump-backed weak candidates. Trump serves an unbelievable purpose in 2016, now he has to go.

“The only seats where the Republicans are making gains right now is when the seats were drawn to give them gains.”

Thank you @SteveKornacki for making it plain.

Use the Google

As far as Latinos, identity trumps policy every single time. Latinos want so badly to identify as white and conservative. Lots of misogyny in Latino culture. So it’s not a surprise that they’re flocking to the GOP.

It’s hard to underscore enough how damaging this election is to the GOP.

There’s no avoiding how obviously big a problem Trump is and they’re stuck with him.

There’s no one to lead them out of it.

Do fret Walkers the GOPs brightest rising star is still in the Game

i did use google, and didn’t see anything. the question was for GS, why not let him answer. i’m just curious what he saw.

Trump isn’t what’s bringing latinos to the right, and i never even hinted that he was. It’s the lefts insane lurch into gross weirdness on social issues that’s maybe pushing hispanics to the right . mexicans are hugely catholic. you can’t be a good catholic and vote for democrats right now, you just can’t. hispanics don’t like men sharing bathrooms with women, they don’t like men physically competing with women, they don’t like being told that men can get pregnant. If hispanics are moving a little to the right, that’s why. it has absolutely nothing to do with trump.

the democrat who got elected governor of PA ran a terrific campaign, but he portrayed himself as an actual moderate, so that may be as far as he can go. He was very smart. I wouldn’t mind seeing him go further, but then progressives won’t like him.

And on newsmax the hoodie winning

The response is as expected

One was I hope he strokes out in office

And If this is another greatest example of a rigged election, I don’t know what it is. And mentally incapacitated candidate, whose wife is a communist and an illegal immigrant is voted in the office. This screams of some thing and it sure isn’t proper voting either by the Pennsylvania citizens who completely lost their minds or there’s voter fraud it’s one or the other or both

The Faux worm has eaten your brain.

You’re triggered by the word trump, I didn’t mention him.

“ As far as Latinos, identity trumps policy every single time.”

Now you’re reading Latinos minds and painting them as a monolithic group, that’s the mistake all politicians make.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

i was kidding wayne, obviously.

i posted the video of the democrat saying kids would be killed. the while quote is there. but you can’t admit it. you just questioned the source instead of addressing what’s in the video. this really is a waste.

Maybe the GOP will realize that Trump getting indicted and going to jail may not be a bad thing.

There are strategic reasons to want this. If he can’t win, he’s a liability to the party, but his trial & conviction (??) would fire up a ton of conservatives to give Dems the boot. It seems like a winning proposition if they can walk the knife edge of looking outraged about it.

My mistake sorry. But I did address all that was in the video

Not just one extreme comment
Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device

no worries!

the whole country is as divided as we are here.

I really really think the GOP will continue to underperform unless they put trump in the rear view mirror.

I'm looking forward to it, I assume this will happen today as it would no longer be considered election tampering?

And FLs latinos are cuban, not the same as those from
mexico.

that’s from september. does it say anything about what latinos did last night? maybe we won’t know that for awhile.
