Some Republicans want Medicare and Social Security to Sunset

[anonymoose]

Anyone who registered on this board in 2006 remembers vast quantities of posts by Republicans seeking to undo SS as it is; either by privatizing it and turning it over to private equity managers,

There's at least a couple of lefties here that want that.

or by advancing legal claims that SS is unconstitutional

I don't know if it's unconstitutional but Ponzi schemes are illegal. And it is a Ponzi scheme. There is no other way to characterize it.

[Althea]

it's one explanation for acting like you do

Acting?

No need I just like that she did it. He should be disrupted every time he speaks

TOP is a retired special ed teacher. I think she could help him.

so its not "some" but one and taken completely out of context.

lets act surprised...

[zymurgy]

Acting?

acting. behaving. responding. Any of those work for me.

You make it sound like there'd be something wrong with that if they did.
But other than Rick Scott, who? No other reupub has the balls to say it.

He’s the guy the republicans picked to help the senate get re elected idiot


Then he put that out as a plan

They’ve never read the trustees report.

Never heard of a trustees report concerning SS.
Regardless, the gubmint Ponzi scheme will continue to work only if there's an increase in population that pays taxes. The Ponzi scheme will always be there , but if a tax paying population ever decreases in relation to the retirement population, the retirees get screwed.

Senator Rick Scott, a member of McConnell’s leadership team and in charge of the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, released an 11-point plan that includes raising taxes on nearly half of Americans and ending the Medicare and Social Security guarantee.

Let’s be clear: Rick Scott laid out his blueprint for the American people – raising taxes for half the country, including seniors and retirees – and everyone from elected Republicans to Senate candidates are lining up to support it:

Senator Ron Johnson: “It’s a positive thing.”

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel: “Republicans like Senator @ScottforFlorida have real solutions to put us back on track.”

RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel: “Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel also endorsed Scott’s 11-point plan, telling the Daily Caller it is full of actual solutions to help the U.S.”

Senator Mike Braun: “Independents are the individuals that elect the swing-state senators and the president, and I think they want something other than no or I’m not interested… I’m glad Rick did it. Nothing is going to be perfect…we’ve got to be for something.”

Senator Marco Rubio: “I think it’s good that people offer ideas.”

Newt Gingrich: “I strongly endorse the direction Sen. Scott is taking in the Senate, and that Leader Kevin McCarthy is taking in the House. Both men understand that a political party has to stand for something and not simply campaign against the other side.”

Senator Tommy Tuberville: “On board” with Scott’s blueprint

Congressman Matt Gaetz: “Proud of @SenRickScott for producing this bold agenda!”

Politico: “Those who agree with his decision to put out an agenda — a group that includes senior officials at the RNC — say that donors and GOP voters are eager for a forward-looking agenda laying out what Republicans will do if they win. There’s a concern about a repeat of 2017, when Republicans, after running on repealing Obamacare, had basically no plan to realize that promise.”

Senator Joni Ernst: “I think every Republican, as we step forward, will determine what is in the best interest for their own party dynamics within their states and defending what we believe to be true, liberty, freedom, you name it, that’s what we are for.”

Fox 8 WGPH: North Carolina Senate candidate Ted Budd “generally agreed with some of [the Scott plan’s] major points.”

Pennsylvania Senate Candidate Mehmet Oz on Scott’s proposal: “He also has a vision for what the party can do going forward’”

Arizona Senate Candidate Jim Lamon: “Rick [Scott] called the other day, I said, ‘Dude, you go on my website?’ You know, it looked awful familiar, right?’”
