Rick Scott who isn't a nobody among GOP senators has proposed ending Social Security and Medicare legislation in five years. Ending it. Letting the law for both "sunset" along with other federal legislation.
Scott further says he doesn't want the end to be permanent, rather that Congress would then pass better Social Security and better Medicare than we now have. You can take it from there depending on your faith.

In the same “Fox News Sunday” interview featured in the DSCC ad and tweet, Scott went on to say that he had no intention of eliminating Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid.
“Here’s what’s happening,” Scott said. “No one that I know of wants to sunset Medicare or Social Security, but what we’re doing is we don’t even talk about it. Medicare goes bankrupt in four years. Social Security goes bankrupt in 12 years. I think we ought to figure out how we preserve those programs. Every program that we care about, we ought to stop and take the time to preserve those programs.”
Poor Marty.

I've been hearing the same thing about the programs "going broke in ___ years" my entire adult life. It's always (R)s saying it, in preface to suggesting getting rid of the programs altogether.
Republiqans hate anything that benefits the citizens, even if they paid into it their whole working lives. It takes too much $$ away from the corporations that they represent.

every election the demmycrats pretend the Republicans will eliminate Medicare and Social Security......apparently there are still some folks stupid enough to believe it..........

“As our regular readers well know, claims about the other party wanting to dramatically cut or eliminate Medicare or Social Security are typical campaign fare.”

Earl is like every other trained seal in the Republican zoo, ready when asked to give his vote to politicians who would take away his lifeline. Liberals like me on the other hand, for whom SS is no guarantee in our futures, are
more willing to support Earl's lifeline than he is.

I am sure we can trust the GOP on this, they have such a long history of passionately fighting for and passing social welfare legislation.

Marty, that was ugly. Take it back.
“Take away his lifeline.”
Marty, I am retired and draw not one cent in SS. My esposa does but I don’t.
Trained seals (in the far left Democrat Socialist zoo) would describe trying to improve SS and Medicare as “taking away his lifeline.”
You trained seals roll out the same old “ending SS and Medicare” lie every election cycle.
Also, Republicans pushing old women in wheelchairs off cliffs.
Poor Marty.

Massive fraud in these two programs as is true of all govt give-away programs. All the non-whites do it.
